This concentrate, made from dried hibiscus (Jamaica) flowers that are
available at Mexican markets, is tart like cranberry, very acidic and a
beautiful garnet color. Besides being used as a marinade and a
reduced-syrup drizzle for [favorite] tacos, it can be used to make freshly
flavored water, hot tea or popsicles; or combine the concentrate with
chunks of fresh fruit or orange sections for dessert.
