    Although these recipes sound quite delicious, the Jamaica flower is not something easily found here in Europe and it costs a lot of money to have ingredients like that delivered to your house - can you suggest something a little more sustainably local as an alternative that perhaps has similar properties? Thanks for the recipes.

    Mmm...Jamaican flower, that's a new one! I'm finding all these really unique, super interesting ingredients on this website, adn I've actualy started ordering them online so I can try out some of these recipes! I've found that ordering from whatever native country is listed in the articles provides the best quality.

    The pancake sounds pretty delicious and easy to make, but I do not knwo if I would like the jamaican flowers, I have never tasted them so I do not know if it is a good idea, however life is for trying new things all the time you can so the next time I see them of the market I will bought them.

    The juice, or I do not know who people call it, like Jamaican water or something like that is delicious, very refreshing especially if you are in summer like now, but I did not know that there were more recipes using this rare ingredient, but delicious, so keep on going with articles like this one.
