Yield About 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 ounces (about 1 cup) dried hibiscus calyxes also called flor de jamaica, available in Latin American stores
10 allspice berries, coarsely cracked optional
Sugar or agave syrup

Steps:

  • Place the hibiscus in a bowl, rinse thoroughly with cold water, and drain. Cover with 4 cups cold water, add allspice berries, if using, and soak for 4 to 12 hours. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing firmly and then discarding solids. Add 4 cups water and then sweeten to taste with sugar or agave syrup.

Tips:

  • Hibiscus flowers add a vibrant red color and a tart flavor to agua fresca. They can be found dried in Latin American markets or online.
  • Use Valencia or navel oranges for the best flavor. Blood oranges can also be used for a more tart agua fresca.
  • To make the agua fresca ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients except for the sparkling water and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, add the sparkling water and stir.
