Nature inspires me in unbelievable ways, and when my Kumquat tree was begging for mercy the other day to be rid of all the fruit which was weighing it down, I decided to pick it and do caramelized kumquats with the little cuties.
But my imagination didn't just stop there. This seemed a bit boring, so I took some hibiscus concentrate that I had made a while ago and diluted it in water and lots of ice to make "agua de jamaica", and then I tossed a few of the caramelized kumquats in there along with some of its syrup, and..... there you have it! A surprisingly delicious and refreshing drink to quench my thirst in this (almost Summer) heat :0)
Yum! Sound so good! This takes me back to when I was in elementary school and a group of us would walk to school together. We passed a yard with a kumquat tree and we always grabbed a few as we passed!
