Jamaica

2/3 cup dried hibiscus blossoms*
1 1/2 cups water
1/3 cup granulated sugar or simple syrup

In a saucepan, bring the blossoms and water to a boil over high heat and continue boiling for 3 minutes. Add enough water to bring the total liquid to 4 cups; add sugar. Set the mixture aside for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Strain the liquid into a glass pitcher. Add more sugar, if necessary. Serve chilled over ice with lime wedges as a garnish.

* These are labeled "sorrel" and can be found in Mexican markets in the Southwest.

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. — Franklin D. Roosevelt
