SORREL DRINK (TRINIDAD)

Not to be confused with the vegetable of the same name from temperate countries, sorrel is a favourite West Indian drink for Christmas and New Year. Actually it's more of a spiced, iced tea, as the juice is drawn from the red sepals of the Roselle plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa) which is commonly called sorrel in the Caribbean. This drink is a favourite with children to whom the task of 'picking' sorrel (removing the red sepals from the prickly seed) is often given. The drink is usually prepared in two batches with one batch being spiked with rum for the adults. The drink needs a lot of sugar to temper the tartness of the fruit but to my mind it should not be made thick and sweet, for then it becomes sickly and cloying although some like it this way, so feel free to vary the ingredient amounts to suit your taste. Usually served chilled with ice but I had a German friend tell me that this drink reminded her of mulled wine so I imagine it could also be served warm.

Steps:

  • In a non-corrosive pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil then add the sorrel, sugar, cinnamon stick, whole cloves and orange peel and stir continuously while the mixture boils for one minute.
  • Cool and cover with foil or plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature to steep for 2 hours or overnight. I have seen recipes that say let it steep for 2 -3 days but quite frankly in my household we can never wait that long to drink this!
  • Taste for strength and sweetness. If it is too potent, add water or if too tart add more sugar. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into a jar and refrigerate. (Discard the spices left in the sieve). NB. The sorrel will stain so use a non-reactive glass jar or bowl. Don't use plastic.
  • For the adult version:.

SORREL

This Jamaican drink, traditionally made with hibiscus flowers and spices, is both bracing and thirst quenching. If you'd like a boozy version, it can serve as the base for a rum punch. Or follow the advice here and serve it with simple syrup and rum on the side as an option for guests.

Steps:

3 2-inch pieces of peeled ginger

SORREL DRINK

This flavorful tea is a favorite holiday drink in Jamaica, where hibiscus (known there as sorrel or flor de Jamaica) grows in abundance. It gets its signature, rich burgundy color from a long steep of the hibiscus and aromatics. Dried pimento seed (the Jamaican term for allspice) and other warming spices are traditional, as is a spicy bite from fresh ginger. A full cup of minced ginger may seem like a lot, but it adds a brightness to this tea that can't be matched. The refreshing drink is typically served chilled (and spiked with optional rum) but can also be enjoyed heated on a cold winter's day.

Steps:

  • Add the hibiscus, cloves, pimento, ginger and orange juice to a 3.5-quart pot. Cover with 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Let simmer, skimming off any impurities from the top of the tea, for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Remove from the heat and add the cinnamon stick and orange peel. Cover and let cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator and steeping overnight.
  • Meanwhile, make a simple syrup by combining the sugar with 2 cups of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar fully dissolves, then remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Strain the tea into a large pitcher. Stir in the simple sugar and serve over ice.

2 cups (2.5 ounces) dried hibiscus
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 teaspoon dried whole pimento seed (or allspice)
One 4- to 5-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced (about 1 cup)
1 orange, peel removed in thick strips and juiced
One 3-inch cinnamon stick
2 cups Demerara cane sugar

JAMAICAN SORREL DRINK

Sorrel is a typical drink served at Christmas in Jamaica which is also know for its health benefits. This dried Hibiscus flower can be purchased at any caribbean or west indies store. This recipe is really made to taste, and everyone makes it different. Steep as long as you like, sweeten to taste (I like mine a little tart), some add orange peel, some add wine, rum....make it your own. Cooktime includes steep time.
