ok, according to my Mum there's this flower/plant called Flor de Jamaica (jamaica flower), you boil 'till the waters red and hot, then you let it rest. You can drink it with or whitiout sugar. It's Tasty AND healthy.Quote:

Horchata! I've had some I'd just wish I know how to make it. The only drink I know how to make Is homemade beer and I can't have any for 7 more years...
A PLUS! Its so good...its like cinnamon or other spices with rice water. Or agua fresca...yummy. My mom makes it a lot. Water and fresh fruit. Guavas or strawberries. They are so refreshing!Quote:

Pretty much you mix rice, H2O and cinnamon in a saucepan. Then you leave it alone, off of the stove for awhile, I'd say like 2-3 hrs. then you boil it and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Then you blend it and strain it. Let it get cool though,before you drink...oh, before you drink, put in sugar and vanilla(if you want), I just said 1/2 cup but it really depends on how sweet you want it. I don't really put that much.
Haha, thats funny. My brother can't roll his Rs at all. Its sad, but he can't speak spanish at all! But he grew up with english, whereas I grew up with spanish.Quote:

Spanish speakers just think I'm weird, since Cubans don't pronounce that much their Rs and Ss. While a normal cuban would say "rohses" really fast I would say "rouwhssssesss" and end with a hiss.
I can't help myself. But it really helps me with my Russian, I sound like a natural!!
AVOID BLACK PEPPER!!!!Quote:

2 to 4 tablespoons sugar
2 to 3 limes, juiced
***I put in a fruit already.
