Sorrel Drink

Cultural Context

Originating from West Africa, Sorrel Drink is made from the vibrant hibiscus flower, known locally as 'sorrel' or 'zobo'. Traditionally enjoyed during festive occasions, it embodies the region's rich flavors and communal spirit. Today, it has gained popularity beyond Africa, with variations appearing in Caribbean and Latin American cuisines, celebrated for its refreshing taste and vibrant color.
