Sorrel Drink Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Sorrel drink is a refreshing and tangy beverage made from the petals of the sorrel plant. It is popular in Caribbean and African cuisines, especially during the holiday season. The drink has a vibrant red color and a unique tart flavor. Sorrel petals are steeped in boiling water along with spices like cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. The mixture is then sweetened with sugar or honey and chilled. It can be served over ice and garnished with a slice of lime or orange. Sorrel drink is perfect for quenching your thirst on a hot day or as a festive holiday treat.
