Herbs Jamaicans like to make for tea

Jamaicans are similar to Asians when comes to hot beverages. We like our teas and to make it even more authentic we like our "bush" tea. (Get a Teavana coupon here for fresh quality teas.)

Herbal tea is known as "bush" tea in Jamaica and some people...just like my fiance, will not drink anything but. No coffee, chocolate or any 'fancy' stuff can entice them away from their herbal concoctions  I  myself am a coffee lover but I do love a nice bout of herbal tea, especially before bed.

Jamaican Food Preservation Techniques

There are times we have a little excess from the garden or we just want to stock up for when the food item goes out of season. In Jamaica most of our food items come around once or twice per year and some are around all year. Need a coupon code for food insurance? Click here.

One may find that a item may be scarce on one parish while the other parish has an abundance.We have several ways or preserving food that will allow for future use.  Preserving foods also insures that we don't have a lot going bad.

Jamaica's signature soup - Mannish water

The soup that Jamaica is most known for is goat soup otherwise known as manish water. You can see the recipe on this page.

The manish water is made from goat's meat, preferably the head and feet. In many cases the balls of the ram goat are also used to give the dish a special odor and flavor which the nanny goat's meat cannot give.
