JAMAICAN HIBISCUS ICED TEA
I had this tea one afternoon in the city. It tastes great, it is rich in vitamin C, is refreshing and there is a natural tartness from the flower petals. If you can find the flower petals, give it a try...you won't be sorry. I think that hibiscus tea bags would work also in this recipe. Cooling and Chilling time is not...

Steps:
- 1. Be careful -- Hibiscus has the potential to stain just about anything it comes in contact with. Pick a pot that won't stain.
- 2. In an old pot bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- 3. Remove the pot from heat and add the dried flowers and sugar.
- 4. Steep with the lid on for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- 5. Make sure sugar has dissolved.
- 6. Pour the mixture through a strainer into a pitcher, being careful not to spill the tea, as it will stain.
- 7. Add 1 1/2 cups of cold water and lime juice to the pitcher.
- 8. Taste and if necessary adjust, sugar or water as needed to sweeten or to weaken the flavor.
- 9. Cool completely on counter, chill and serve in large glasses with plenty of ice and garnished with a lime slice.
