How to Make Sorrel Drink Trinidad
- Bring 10 cups of water to a boil in a non-reactive pot (stainless steel or enamel).
- Add 2 cups of prepared sorrel (red sepals), 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, 5 whole cloves, and the zest of 1 orange. Stir continuously for 1 minute while boiling.
- Remove from heat, cool slightly, cover with foil or plastic wrap, and let steep at room temperature for 2 hours (or overnight for a deeper flavor).
- Taste and adjust: Add more water for a less intense flavor or more sugar if needed.
- Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large glass jar or bowl. Discard the solids.
- Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- **For the Adult Version:** Repeat steps 1-5, adding ½ cup of dark rum after removing the pot from the heat in step 2. Stir to combine before cooling and straining.
- Serve chilled over ice. For a warming alternative, enjoy warm.
