Author Notes
Right here’s a venerable Jamaican drink that is essentially based from a hibiscus flower that is harvested in the chilly weather. It is moderately spiced and spiked with Jamaican white rum. Traditionally served at some stage in the Christmas vacation season, alternatively, Jamaicans drink it at any celebratory occasion all year round. —Briana Riddock
