The Sorrel flower is a species of hibiscus flower originally found in Africa that has spread across to the Caribbean and Asia during colonization. Its dark red burgundy flowers are boiled and or steeped in hot water to create a tangy juice or tea. You can find the flavor of this flower being used in flavored lagers, carbonated beverages, and dried for use in tea bags. The traditional Trini version, however, is a drink infused with ginger and clove to give it a spicy and woody depth of flavor. Since the flowers bloom in late November into December, this drink has become a Christmas Tradition and for an extra 'shot' of cheer, a little Rum will make it just right. During the Holiday season, please be responsible and always chooses a designated driver.
