Hibiscus Cooler
I think in terms of love Jamaica (hibiscus) is pretty close up there with poblanos, and cilantro and grapefruit and queso….
You get the picture.
I spend a lot of my day on the computer, whether blogging, writing recipes, editing pictures or answering emails. And to keep my spirits high I keep a cheery drink next to me at all times. On mornings it is most likely a steaming cup of coffee or a colorful smoothie. Around noon if I feel a bit sluggish another round of coffee either warm or iced and a purty,purty drink.
Aguas, teas or coolers they sit beside me brightening my mood, cheering me on as I get through my day.
Tall, shiny glasses of joy I call them. Don’t coolers just scream joy?
This cooler came together as I prepped lunch Jamaica leaves, cinnamon and star anise. Add ice and top it off with sparkling water and presto, Joy!

Being a food blogger has its perks. From time to time I receive sweet packages in the mail. This cooler was made in the Primula Flavor it Brewer. I love it, plan to use it for my summer fiestas’!
