(See the Agua de Jamaica recipe) Egyptian Karkade Tea Recipe: This recipe isn’t much different from the basic recipe above. Instead of steeping, you boil the 50 gram of flowers with sugar for 2-3 minutes in a pan. Then let it sit and cool down for 15 minutes before you serve. Compared to the basic steeped version, the flavour is more intense. Agua de Jamaica: This recipe is a bit more adventurous. Instead of cooking only the flowers and sugar, you now also add some cinnamon and slices of ginger. This recipe can be served hot or cold. Optionally squeeze in lime for some extra punch.
