Ingredients
- 8 cups (1.89 L) water
- 2 cups (256g) dried sorrel
- 1 two-inch piece of ginger peeled and grated
- 1 teaspoon allspice berries
- 4 cloves
- orange peel
- simple sugar syrup or maple syrup to sweeten
Instructions
- Boil water in pot.
- Add in sorrel, ginger, berries, cloves, and orange peel, and let steep for about 1 hour.
- While mixture is steeping, make the sugar syrup.
- Strain sorrel juice into a pitcher and sweeten with syrup, to taste.
- Serve your drink over ice and garnish with orange and lime wedges.
Notes
- This recipe uses dried sorrel. If using fresh hibiscus, the drink will be a lighter red. For a deeper red color, add a few more tablespoons of sorrel. Before using the dried sorrel petals, give them a quick rinse to remove any dust or debris. Be mindful of the steeping time for the spices. Over-steeping could result in a drink that's overly spiced and bitter. Stick to the recommended time in the recipe. Strain the mixture thoroughly after simmering to remove all the solids. This ensures a smooth and enjoyable texture. Allow the strained mixture to cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Sorrel Drink is traditionally served cold over ice. This helps balance the tartness and enhances the overall enjoyment. Consider garnishing your glasses with fresh orange slices or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for an extra festive touch. When entertaining a crowd, simply double (or even triple) this recipe. Prep it ahead of time and just store in the fridge until needed. Use a sharp knife to cut off the peel from an orange if you need to. Storage - Keep refrigerated up to one week. There is 1 WW Blue Plan SmartPoint in a serving of this.
