Tea of flower Jamaica
Yesterday was commemorated the day of tea, something that for me was a big surprise because I was unaware of the celebration of that day. I have had the opportunity to try a variety of teas, some prepared here at home and others in places where I have visited, all very good. So to celebrate and commemorate this tea day we were encouraged to prepare one and spend a nice time with the family while we shared a cup and waited for the tea to boil and gave off that rich smell that permeated the whole atmosphere, it was a very nice afternoon of tea.
I like the tea we prepare, although I prefer to drink coffee, either in the morning, in the afternoon and several times at night, however, from time to time having a cup of tea is relaxing. At home we always have the necessary ingredients to make tea, a delicious hot tea and especially if the weather is cold. I have had the opportunity to try lemon tea, malojillo tea, chamomile tea and some varieties of flowers that are sold and are perfect for tea, such as hibiscus flower, cayenne, plus tea that comes packaged in bags ready to prepare in the supermarket. Each of these have a very different flavor and color, all are very rich and provocative, we always use to take them at night, it helps us to sleep much better, relax, and especially if we have flu discomfort are very good.
This time we are going to prepare a Jamaica tea, we were given some flowers and we took the opportunity to do it, they were a little wilted, because when we take them from the plant they get like that, however, for tea they are perfect and that's why we will not have problems when preparing it. These flowers have a dark red color, a slightly rough texture and almost no smell, when I saw them I did not know which flower it was, but when you make the tea the magic begins, it gives off a delicious smell, a very nice color when you add them to boiling water.
The good thing is that to prepare it you don't need to have a large amount of flowers, since with just a few is enough, to give a touch and a different flavor to the tea. It is the first time I was going to try a Jamaica tea, so I was very excited to prepare it and see how good it is.
The first thing I did was to add a cup of water in a pot where the tea was going to be prepared, wait for the water to start boiling so I could add the hibiscus flowers, and leave them for a while to release the flavor and color, it is a great moment to observe this process, then add lemon, this is optional because the tea once ready has an acid taste.
In my case I like to add a few spoons of sugar, because when you get used to the sweetness it is almost impossible to drink it. And that was the end of the preparation of this delicious Jamaica tea. A tea that is very quick and easy to make. In addition, it is a very tasty drink, from now on I will include it in my tea list.
I like to drink it hot, it's like any tea and I pour it in a big cup to enjoy it while I'm watching TV or checking the phone. However, being the first time I grabbed a small cup to try it, when I finished drinking it, it was very tasty and I went to get some more, luckily there was some left. It has a very rich flavor and when you take that first sip of this Jamaica tea it is delicious.
Everything went very well and I was very pleased to have prepared and tried something new, besides being able to make it at home with much love and affection for my whole family, since we all like to enjoy a good cup of tea. With that cup of hibiscus flower tea, my day ended and the best thing was to make a tea with flowers, and try new flavors.
So friends, if you have the opportunity to try this cayenne tea, I recommend you to try something incredible, and see how a simple flower can become a tea, and use the flowers to make a relaxing, tasty and very simple drink.

Thanks for sharing this awesome experience of your Jamaican Hibiscus tea with us. I think you prepared it in a lovely way:)
Hello friend, to be the first time that I prepare one at home, it is very tasty. I'll send you a cup of tea.
Hibiscus tea is one of my favorites, I opt for the practical option of bags, but they are expensive, so doing it this way can save a little money in addition to the enjoyment.
Hello friend, a very rich tea, it is better to prepare it at home, since all the teas fulfill the same function.
Hibiscus tea is one of my favorites and it looks great in your post. Glad you were able to share it with your family.
It was a great moment, and a tea that was great.
Hibiscus Flower tea is one of my favorites and I love to add a few drops of lemon juice, this makes the flavor more delicious. Thanks for sharing, my friend. Regards, best regards.
