Do you remember those days when dad would take over the kitchen to prepare something special? My dad, Ramiro, loved his family and, just like my mom, he would show his love by sharing his favorite foods. When my dad prepared agua de jamaica, made with dried hibiscus flowers, it was always a special time. He would call our names and hand us each a tall glass of this tasty and refreshing drink made with lots of love.
