Shellfish 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 sits somewhere between cranberry and pomegranate. Dried hibiscus flowers steep with a cinnamon stick to build a deeply colored concentrate that smells absolutely incredible as it simmers on the stove. The whole process is straightforward — boil, simmer, strain, chill — and the result is a pitcher of something that looks and tastes far more impressive than the effort involved. A squeeze of lime over the glass at serving time adds a bright citrusy edge that really makes the flavors pop. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of seafood and shellfish, so there's nothing to second-guess or swap out. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast at gatherings, so you might want to double the batch.
