Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups Dried Sorrel
- 8 cups of Water
- 1 Cinnamon Stick (honestly, I use 2)
- 4-6 cloves (whole… make that 8 to 10 if you want the kick)
- 2-3 inch thick slice of ginger, skinned, cut, chopped, or sliced
- 1 cup of Sugar to sweeten (your choice, white or brown,... I use brown)
- Just a squeeze of half a lemon
- And a shot of dark Rum or Falernum, depending on your guests. (Note: I skip this to keep it “family friendly,” especially since my Little ones love Sorrel more than the average kids.)
Instructions
- Boil the water
- Add all remaining ingredients (except the lemon, sugar, and rum)
- Cover and Lightly Boil for 15 minutes in a BIG POT.
- Remove from heat and let it steep. (I do so overnight… so 8-24 hours)
- Strain into a large container. (Use a cheese cloth if you have it) Squeeze all that goodness out.
- Add Lemon, Sugar, and Rum to Taste.
- Pour in a Bottle, Pitcher, or other Container.
- Chill in the Fridge.
- Serve, and Enjoy!
Notes
- Some like it sweeter (add more sugar).
- Some like it stronger (add more ginger or cloves).
- Some like it STRONGER (add more rum.. LOL).
- It’s yours for the tasting.
