What does “agua de Jamaica” mean in Spanish?

agua de Jamaica
Mexican drink (false friend)
A red Mexican drink made from hibiscus flowers — Jamaica here is the flower, not the country.

In Mexico, agua de Jamaica is a sweet red drink, not water from the island of Jamaica. Here Jamaica (say it “ha-MY-kah”) is the name of the hibiscus flower. People dry the flowers, boil them in water, add sugar, and drink it cold. It is one of the most common aguas frescas you see next to a Mexican meal, and it tastes a bit like cranberry.

In the clip she lists agua de Jamaica and asks ¿el agua de Jamaica tiene flores? Sí, flor, una flor (“does it have flowers? Yes, a flower”). So the same word, Jamaica, can mean the country or this flower — context tells you which.
