Como se dice " agua de jamaica"

Question

El agua de flor de jamaica es muy saludable

Answer 1

Flor de Jamaica is hibiscus in English, and the hot infusion thereof called hibiscus tea.

I've never seen it drunk cold in English and do not know of a standard name for it...

That is my suspicion, that we were talking about a tea or such rather than "water". - 0074b507, Sep 1, 2011

At least in Colombia it is not unsual to find what equates to cold, sweet hibiscus tea, known by the above name. - afowen, Sep 1, 2011

Iced, please, iced... - afowen, Sep 1, 2011

Answer 3

I recall the first time I ever came across this drink. I was vacationing in Los Cabos, México and was wondering why would anyone call un refresco after a country, right? I was intrigued by this purplish liquid in a large jar and was quite pleased when I requested some from the puesto proprietor...bottoms up! (gringo's on point!)
