It was a little too strong and sweet this time, so I dialed down the hibiscus and sugar for next time

So is it sweat or sour or what is the taste?

    It's tart, fruity, and earthy, like fresh berries. The sweetness and tart is based on how much sugar is used to make the jamaica (ha-my-kah). It's often served cold or with ice.

    3rd best Mexican drink after agua fresca and horchatta. It's very much worth trying if you find the opportunity.

    The hibiscus gives it a sour taste. With the amount of sugar I used, it turned out about as sweet as sour, but very intense in total
