Mexican tea culture

[edit]

Dried flowers of the flor de Jamaica (hibiscus) plant, used to make agua de Jamaica, or Jamaica iced tea.

  • ... the ruby red beverage called Hibiscus tea in English-speaking countries is called agua de Jamaica (water of Jamaica) in Mexico, where it is widely available?

Close paraphrasing concerns. Example: "Culantrillo: (maidenhair fern, Adiantum capillus): to "thin the blood," for constipation, liver problems, and kidney stones; about 5 grams boiled in half a liter of water, a small cup drunk every day" vs "Culantrillo: (maidenhair fern, Adiantum capillus): to "thin the blood," for constipation, liver problems, and kidney stones, boil about 5 grams in half a liter of water, and take a small cup every day ".

The list of plants and traditional uses in medicine has been removed as copyright violation. I was depending on only one source for the list. If I can find additional sources, eventually I will attempt to recompile a similar list. OttawaAC (talk) 02:21, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
Article still big enough - great pic! Good luck with more sources. Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:07, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
