Boil water in a large pot over high heat.

Add sorrel, ginger, cloves, and allspice to the boiling water.

Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sorrel is tender.

Remove from heat and let steep for 1-2 hours to extract flavors.

Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large pitcher.

Add sugar to the strained liquid and stir until dissolved.

Stir in lime juice and vanilla extract to taste.

Chill the drink in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Serve over ice with additional lime slices if desired.
