Drain the water from the sorrel and set it aside.

Grate the ginger and add it to the pot with the sorrel.

Add 1 cinnamon stick and 0.5 teaspoon cloves to the pot.

Pour water from the kettle into the pot with the sorrel and spices.

Cover the pot halfway and simmer on low heat for at least 25 minutes.

Remove the lid and let it cool overnight.

After cooling, strain the mixture into a large bowl using a strainer.

Squeeze the juice of 1 lime into the strained liquid.

Add granulated sugar to taste and mix well.

Optionally, add a small amount of Jamaican red label wine and Jamaican white rum.

Serve over ice or chill in the fridge before serving.
