Ingredients
- 6.5 Cups water
- 1 Cup roselle hibiscus flower buds see Notes, dried
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 8 clove whole
- 1 star anise optional
- sugar or simple syrup or honey as per taste
- rum optional
- ice cubes
Instructions
- Pour the water into a pot and keep on the heat.
- Add the roselle hibiscus flowers, as well as the cinnamon stick, cloves, and the star anise.
- Mix and bring to a boil. Take from the heat and let it all steep covered for about 20 minutes.
- Sweeten with sugar when it's still hot or add corn syrup to the glass later.
- Pick out the spices, let the sorrel drink cool down.
- Serve with rum (or not) and ice cubes cooled and mixed.
Notes
- Dried Roselle flowers tend to be more intense in taste. So when using fresh flowers you might want to adjust the amounts by adding some and taste testing it.
- You can add sugar during the cooking process or let cool and pour into glasses with liquid corn sugar.
- You may or may not add rum to your Sorrell. I use white Caribbean rum. You can prepare an alcohol-free version by just skipping the rum.
