Agua de jamaica, and so long succér.
June 5, 2006
Along with all of the other belongings in my now bleak apartment, I am getting rid of houseplants. Especially some wild strawberry plants I picked up in the Eastern Townships. People have been carting away my plants like Y2Krazy!
One girl traded me a strawberry plant for a bag of whole, dried hibiscus flowers that a friend had just sent her from Mexico.
It would be subtle misstatement to say that agua de jamaica is a “traditional drink” of Mexico; the drinking of jamaica is pre-Columbian.
It’s been a long time since I had freshly-made jamaica (i.e. not bottled/with sugar added). On its own you get a bitter & tart & frighteningly red liquid. Delicious!
