sorrel drink sorrel plant

Sorrel is a seasonal plant that is grown on a small scale by sorrel lovers in Jamaica. It is usually ready by November to December of each year, just in time for Christmas.

Most Jamaicans love sorrel drink at Christmas time as it goes well with the Christmas pudding or fruit cake. The drink is easy to make and goes well with ginger and the taste can also be enhanced with a little red or white rum (the rum is not recommended for kids). It is very refreshing especially when chilled.

Ingredients:

l lb. Sugar
1 gal. Water
¼ lb. Ginger Root (Chopped)
4oz. Sorrell

After brewing, strain the liquid and discard the remains. Cool at room temperature and then add sugar and sweeten to taste.

Place in the refrigerator until chilled.

Serve this drink with ice in 8oz. glasses.
