Few drinks are as visually stunning as this deep crimson agua de Jamaica ā it looks like something you'd order at a fancy restaurant, but it comes together with just a handful of pantry staples. Dried hibiscus flowers steep with a cinnamon stick and sugar into a richly colored, tart concentrate that smells absolutely incredible as it simmers. Once strained and diluted with cold water, the result is a refreshing, floral drink with just the right balance of sweet and tangy. A squeeze of lime over the ice takes it completely over the top. This is naturally free from tree nuts at every step ā no specialty swaps needed, just clean, simple ingredients doing all the work. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast at gatherings, so you might want to make a double batch right from the start.
