Barley Free Hibiscus Tea (Agua de Jamaica)

This vibrant crimson drink is one of the most refreshing things you can pour on a hot day, with a tart, floral flavor that's bold enough to stand on its own and bright enough to make you reach for a second glass. Dried hibiscus flowers steep with a cinnamon stick to create a deeply colored concentrate that smells absolutely incredible as it simmers on the stove. The whole process is straightforward — boil, steep, strain, chill — and the result is a drink that tastes far more special than the effort involved. Because it's made entirely from flowers, spice, sugar, and water, there's nothing hidden to worry about, making it a naturally grain-free choice without any substitutions required. A squeeze of lime over ice takes it from great to genuinely hard to put down. Make a big batch and keep it in the fridge, because it disappears faster than you'd expect.
