Hibiscus Agua Fresca (Agua de Jamaica)

To hydrate the dried hibiscus flowers, simply simmer 1-2 cups of dried flowers in 4-6 cups water for 15 minutes. Remove the flowers from the liquid and set aside (these can be used for other dishes like enchiladas). Save the liquid to make agua fresca. All you have to do is sweeten the liquid with sugar or honey to your taste. Add a bit more water to dilute it to your desired strength. Serve over ice.
