About Agua de jamaica

Agua de Jamaica is a refreshing herbal tea made by steeping dried hibiscus flowers in water, often sweetened with sugar and served chilled. Originating from Mexican cuisine and popular across Latin America and the Caribbean, this vibrant deep-red beverage offers a tangy, slightly tart flavor similar to cranberry. Hibiscus is rich in antioxidants, particularly vitamin C and anthocyanins, which may support immune health and reduce inflammation. It’s also known for its potential diuretic and blood pressure-lowering properties. However, due to added sugar in many recipes, the calorie content can vary, making unsweetened or lightly sweetened versions a healthier option. Alternately, natural sweeteners like agave or stevia can be used to lower sugar content. Agua de Jamaica’s unique flavor and potential health benefits make it a delightful choice for hydration with a nutritious twist when consumed mindfully.
