1
Steep the Hibiscus Flowers
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the dried hibiscus flowers. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
2
Strain the Mixture
After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the hibiscus mixture into a large pitcher, discarding the solid flowers.
3
Add Water and Sugar
In the pitcher with the hibiscus tea, add the remaining 4 cups of cold water and 1 cup of sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
4
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the lime juice and stir the mixture again to combine all the flavors.
5
Chill and Serve
Add ice cubes to the pitcher and stir gently. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavors.

6
Garnish the Drink
If desired, serve the Agua Jamaica in glasses garnished with lime slices and fresh mint leaves for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
