JAMAICAN SORREL DRINK RECIPE || ALCOHOL FREE

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness while brown sugar is often cheaper.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice provides a similar tartness, and vinegar can be a cost-effective substitute.

Boil 6-7 cups of water in a pot.

Add 2 cinnamon sticks and 6 cloves to the boiling water.

Grate 3/4 cup of ginger and add it to the pot.

Wash the 1.5 pounds of fresh sorrel petals thoroughly before adding them to the pot.

Once the mixture comes to a boil, turn off the stove to avoid boiling the sorrel.

Cover the pot and let it steep overnight in a cool place.

The next day, strain the mixture to separate the sorrel pulp, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and ginger from the liquid.

Sweeten the strained liquid with 2 cups of brown sugar, adjusting to taste.

Mix until all the sugar is dissolved.

Serve the sorrel drink chilled.
