The nopales are also served with carne asada, they are slightly fried.
The agua de Jamaica is also very good for the urinary tract and kidneys, it helps when you have a mild urinary infection to clear it up, my wife swears by it rather than using antibiotics all the time.
To sweeten the agua de tuna and agua de Jamaica we use the jarabe de agabe, (agave syrup, from Costco) we use less, you need to use more sugar to get the same amount of sweetness as you with do with the agave.
