Turmeric Free Hibiscus Tea (Agua de Jamaica)

This vibrant crimson drink is one of those recipes that looks stunning without any effort at all. Dried hibiscus flowers steep with a cinnamon stick and sugar into a deeply colored, tart 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 refreshing pitcher drink that tastes far more complex than its short ingredient list suggests. Since every component here is naturally free of turmeric and any golden-hued spices, there's no label-checking or substitution required. A squeeze of lime over ice takes the tartness in the best possible direction, balancing the floral notes with a little citrus brightness. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast at gatherings, so you may want to double the batch.
