Easy Jamaica Agua Fresca | Hibiscus Fresh Water | Aguas Frescas Recipe 

Just because Mexicans drink hibiscus and call it Jamaica doesn't make it a Mexican drink. My father is from the islands and we have been drinking hot hibiscus tea and cold hibiscus for generations they also drink it in the deep south also I hope you weren't mocking black women when you said "oh my goodness "

Great recipe! In the Caribbean we call it sorrel and we add spices like cinnamon, clove , ginger, etc. It really brings out the flavour of it and you can also reuse the petals once more or twice.

I just made this today for my husband on Father’s Day and he absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for this. I used 5 cups boiling water 1&1/2 cups of hibiscus steeped 15 min, strained, added 1 cup sugar let it cool, added 2 cups filtered water served over ice with a squeeze of fresh lime. HEAVEN!

Hibiscus tea is so good for you. It tastes like flowery cranberry.. I LUF IT! If you have high blood pressure it will lower it with consistent consumption.

My favorite drink. I make it in my coffee maker.... and I use the flowers twice to make a gallon. I don’t have to strain the flowers 🌺 I just pop out the filter and throw it away. This drink never lasts a day!!! I love your videos and beautiful personality!!!

I add a cinnamon stick to my hibiscus and it's delicious 😋

Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ You granted my request. OH MY GOOOOODDDDNNNNNEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!You’re the best. I have been binge watching your videos ever since I found your channel.

I love jamaica I always make it at home with out sugar. It's helped me lose 15 pounds

So yum! Also known as sorrel in Jamaica! I grew up on this flower! So delish and we Jamericans love it!

Hey there! I have never been one to comment, but I think your simply wonderful. I made your Tres Leches cake this past weekend for my son’s 13th birthday and it was exceptional! You make your channel inviting and fun. It’s almost like I’m in the kitchen with you! I’m totally hooked and binge watching like the rest of us! I can wait to start a detox now! Who knew it could be so fun and delicious! Thank you for being you and not changing for anybody. We need a positive person like you!

I always get this drink for my mom from Los Guachos. Now I can surprise her next time I see her. She is gonna love it. THANK YOU!!!!!

Hi, I enjoy your cooking and your recipes. Here in Jamaica we don't call it Hibiscus flowers, we call it Sorrel and if you add ginger to it, it's much better.

Love your positivity and sincerity 💕Thanks for making things accessible and fun. All about the Fresca!

Yes! You've taken away my agua fresca fear 😆 my husband LOVES fresh water and horchata and you made it such a breeze for me to overcome. Thank you! I made the strawberry horchata for our memorial bbq and it was a hit!

Omg I was waiting for this moment. I have a bag of hibiscus 🌺 and I was afraid to make it because everyone makes it different. Now I’m going to make it. I was going to ask you how do you make it. Thank you love 💕 You have inspired me to make agua fresca . I never have made them. But you make it easy and easy to follow and options. Again thank you 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️👏👏

I just made this! My familia has always loved agua de jamaica and never thought of trying to make it myself till now. So easy, and so good. This will definitely be a staple in my fridge. Muchas gracias. Dios te bendiga.

This is an extremely popular drink in Jamaica which is where the name of the flower comes from. I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel. Keep the videos and love coming! ❤🇯🇲

Once again... another one. I'm LIVING in the farmers market! Nice job.

That’s the biggest measuring cup I’ve ever seen omg

Agua fresca de Jamaica, i make it a home every week, I soak de Jamaica flower overnight in the fridge then I put it in a 21/2 galon bitrolero. Great video, GOD bless you.🙏🙏👍👍👍 EDUARDO MIAMI FL 🇺🇸

Yes! I can feel a difference in my body, I've been doing the detox water for 2 weeks and I love it! Thanks so much for ur daily videos!

I love how you demystify these dishes. Horchata was always my favorite (until I stumbled across watermelon) and I was always told it was a process to make. Now that you've shown how easy it can be, I'm excited to get cracking! What I really love is that through food, you've introduced a culture that I had claim to yet really hadn't been exposed to. It's really exciting because it's integrating a missing facet of my background that I didn't truly realize wasn't there. Thank you!

When cleaning out some shelves this morning I found a bag of 12 year old dried out Jamaica. I put it in a saucepan with the sugar, brought it to the boil then simmered for 2 minutes. delicious !

Hibiscus is one of my favorite. Right now I am kicking it up a notch and fermenting it with kombucha. So refreshing.

Agua de Jamaica is a staple in our house ❤️

Hibiscus, my most favorite drink! Cloves and ginger added and ooh la la‼️👍🏽. Live for you info when you talk and share. GREAT NUTRITIONAL ADVICE!

Welcome back, girlie. You were missed. Steph, this agua fresca is bright, and refreshing. Thanks for all of these hydrating summer beverages that are great for entertaining as well as for everyday. Haven't had Jamaica since I was a kid! Can't wait to try this recipe. You know it's on Hubby's list! Much love to you, and yours...hugs all around.

Thank -you! I had some of this at a Mexican Restaurant today and it was delish. She told me it is really good for the kidneys.

I made grilled chicken fajitas with Tortillas a mano for my husband's lunch tomorrow and been trying to get him to cut soda so this is perfect! Real easy and real delicious!

Had no clue it was that easy!!! I love your channel!! I made the watermelon Fresca and it didn’t last a day in the fridge!! Thank you so much for sharing

I made this a couple of days ago and wow! I would say a word of caution is that I didn’t know how bloated I was and it made me gassy. 😂 Today I already see a huge change to my faja and stomach. This is a miracle elixir. ❤❤

I had this for the first time a few days ago from a restaurant. I have been craving it so bad since. Omgosh I can’t wait to make this. Thank you so much

Last month I ordered off Amazon, some hibiscus flowers to make hibiscus tea, not realising how much 1 kilogram of hibiscus flowers was....and I’ve been searching for stuff to make with them. Voila, this came up in my recommendations!

I love that it's that easy! This is my go to drink so far and what's so great about it is my boys love it!❤❤ hello to Cloud hope she is doing well!

Agua de Jamaica is really good for lowering HBP. You can buy it in tea but it has to be sorrel type.

This drink is so versatile you can make it how you want . I think I will try mint or ginger too

Africans calls it bissap. You can do it whatever you want. Personally,I let it seat with mint leaves and stir after with vanilla sugar and sugar . Other use pineapple,ginger… I like it with mint leaves.

I love that she smiles and laugh when she does her recipes she has lots of funny keep up the grate work

Steph, I was actually looking forward to this recipe! Yesterday as I was watching the strawberry kiwi agua, I was like hmm I wonder if she'll do Jamaica?🙈🤞🏼First this I see... agua de Jamaica!!! I was like ahh!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍 THANK YOU STEPH!!! YOU MADE MY DAY!❤

I've been drinking this and cucumber water, for 4 days and i can feel the difference already!

I have had mixed berry tea with hibiscus in it. Quite good on a warm day! 🌺

I LOVE. Hibiscus!!!!!!

this is so quick and easy, thank you!!!! i loved it so much i made a second batch before the first was even done steeping

I like adding my Jamaica to bubbly water sometimes, when I am craving soda. Thanks for another awesome recipe Steph. Sending Anguiano love ❤❤

Jamaica is my favorite!! 🌺🌺

I can't wait to try your recipe. Gracias from the heart of a Puerto Rican mujer! (:

I love Jamaica! I didn’t realize it was this easy to make. I’m going to start making my own. Thanks👏🏼❤️🥰

I cant believe its that easy! Cool! Thank you! I love jamaica!!

I love hibiscus! Lately when I make it it was more bitter than it had been in the past. Thought it was because I had purchased a different batch of dried flowers but now I've learned that I may be brewing it longer than I need to (for my taste). THANK YOU so much for that! Now I'll let the blooms steep 15 minutes and then strain them off.

Your channel is so unique! I love hibiscus, but I never guessed it was so simple to make. I used to drink the Hibiscus tea from Starbucks but that got expensive after a while. Thanks for this! 🤗

I made this after I made your vegan Baria and I must say both are absolutely delicious my husband was so confused couldn't believe it was flower's thank you!

Thank you!!! I never knew how simple jamaica was thanks for your video

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I have seen so many crazy recipes for Jamaica. This one is so easy! I added a little more sugar because my dad likes it sweeter but this was perfection and my only complaint is that I didn't see this sooner!

Add ginger, let it sit overnight and then you’ll get some delicious Jamaican sorrel. We make that every Christmas in my family and it’s so good

Hi from the Chi, I am a new fan. I love your recipes. I have never never met another Cloudy. I think I am much older than both of you by 30 years. I like you even more because of Cloudy. and your sense of style I have fun colored hair as well. Keep up the great work I am so happy I discovered you.

Thank you. Just needed a refresher.

Just had this right now for the first time. It was 🔥 I need to get ahold of the flower.

I love your agua Fresca videos ❤️

it’s her channel she can do whatever she wants and say whatever. Don’t let your thoughts take you mind to negative places.

Thank you so much I have been asking everyone I know/meet and no one knows how to make it. But you just solved the mystery for me.

I've been making hibiscus for years you can also make paletas in the freezer or just ice cubes for your hibiscus drink....I like to add lime when I make my favorite drink of hibiscus! You should try it it's delicious girl thanks for sharing .... cant waite for what's next !😁💜

Finally a simple recipe, I see some recipes that add lemon, mint, strawberries, and peaches and water from last months full moon and that’s nice but I don’t have time for all that!

Loving these recipes!!! Thank you so much for sharing them. I've been trying to find ways to get my housemates to drink healthier alternatives to soda in my house and these recipes are awesome.

All i need in mine is a lil Bacardi 😂😂 🍷

I just made the Jamaica and it’s like I went to go buy it somewhere, happy I can just do this at home!

I love this video. Thanks for sharing

Love your videos! I live by two Hispanic markets and it is nice to see what I can do with the things I see in the store! I would love to see you do a cheese and also explain the dried peppers video 😍

Don't discard those precious Hibiscus flowers. You can make some tasty vegan hibiscus flower tacos!!

Your hair is popping extra in your Jamaica vid. Looks delish!

My mother in law loves Jamaica. I'll be making some for her this weekend 😁 I didn't know it was that simple.

Your right I had no clue it was so easy to make! I thought it was the hardest of the aguas to make

I love the agua frescas without sugar. I have been making all of them.

I add rose water syrup and it is amazing

Love, love, love this agua fresca recipe! Thank you, Steph. Much love!

I love how easy you made it. I watch other videos and they made it so complicated that I didn't even want to make it anymore lol.

Hello Gorgeous Lady, thank yo.u kindly for sharing this delicious recipe and simple for us busy ladies. much obliged to You. Many blessing to You.

This is also good with ginger too .

You can use Monkfruit instead of processed sugar. Monkfruit is sweeter than sugar, and all natural. Trader Joe’s has it.

When you're done with making the tea, you can use the hibiscus flower. Season it and fry it like carne asada, make tacos with a salsa, onions and cilantro. So yummy.

Thank you for all the agua recipes! I’m going to try as many as possible! You’re so fun and entertaining. Stay blessed, Aaron

Love your recipes ❤❤❤❤
