Use about 100 grams of dried sorrel and a ratio of 1 cup sorrel to 4 cups water, but eyeball the amounts.

Fill a pot with 5-6 cups of water and add the dried sorrel.

Bring the pot to a boil.

Smash and crush the ginger in a plastic bag to avoid mess, then add it to the pot.

Add soursop leaf and lemongrass to the pot.

Slice two pieces of orange and add them to the pot.

Let the mixture come to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Simmer for at least an hour, but longer is better, up to four hours or overnight.

Strain the mixture into a container to remove solids.

Sweeten the strained liquid with brown sugar or cane sugar to taste.

Pour the drink into a glass and taste it.
