Concentrated Hibiscus Tea**
8 cups water
2 cups (about 2-3 ounces) dried hibiscus or Jamaica flowers
1 1/2 cups sugar or to taste

In a 6- or 8-quart saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add flowers, stir and simmer over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool a bit.
