Uses:
Jamaica from Don Enrique is the Spanish name given to the Hibiscus Pod. A native of tropical Asia, 300 different species of hibiscus can be found throughout the world. Although scientists have been unable to substantiate any medicinal claims, hibiscus is often praised for its healing value. Also called Indian Roselle, Rosella, or Indian Sorrel, Jamaica is grown for its fleshy red "pods" which are commonly used to make jams, jellies, sauces and refreshing drinks. Slightly tart (like cranberries), Jamaica blends well with other teas (especially when infused with sorrel leaves) and imparts a warm, pinkish (fuchsia) color.
