Rinse the dried sorrel under cold water to remove any dirt.

Pour the rinsed sorrel into a large pot.

Add cold water to the pot with the sorrel.

Add bay leaves, a cinnamon stick, and pimento seeds to the pot.

Slice and chop a lot of ginger and add it to the pot.

Add 4 slices of lime to the pot.

Set the heat to the lowest setting to steam the sorrel, not boil it.

Cover the pot and let it steam for 1 hour without boiling.

After 1 hour, turn off the heat and let it sit for 24 hours to infuse the flavors.

After 24 hours, strain the mixture to separate the liquid from the solids.

Strain the mixture two more times to ensure all flavors are extracted.

Add brown sugar to the strained liquid and stir until dissolved.

Add red label wine and Jamaican white rum to the mixture for flavor.
