Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Steep the Sorrel

    In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the dried sorrel flowers, grated ginger, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Cover the pot and let it steep for about 2-4 hours or until it cools down to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Strain the Mixture

    After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, discarding the solids.

  3. 3

    Sweeten and Serve

    Add sugar to the strained liquid while it is still warm, stirring until fully dissolved. Stir in the lime juice. Chill in the refrigerator or serve immediately over ice cubes.

  4. 4

    Garnish (optional)

    For an added touch, you can garnish with additional slices of lime or fresh mint leaves before serving.
