Add cinnamon sticks and 1 tablespoon of cloves to the pot.

Cover and allow to boil for about 5 minutes to extract flavors from the spices.

Add the sorrel petals to the pot and boil for about 3 minutes on high heat.

Turn off the stove and cover the pot to allow the mixture to steep, ideally overnight for about 12 hours.

After steeping, strain the mixture to extract all the juice.

Sweeten the strained mixture to taste, optionally adding rum for adults.

Strain again for a smooth finish.

Serve chilled or over ice.
