How To Make A Spiced Sorrel Drink From The Caribbean.


How to make Sorrel as it’s made in the Caribbean using a traditional recipe from Trinidad and Tobago. This spiced sorrel drink is popular around the Christmas season in the Caribbean, since that’s when the sorrel flower blooms and is available for use. However I’m using dried sorrel in this recipe for the drink.

  1. 0 sugar , and natural maple syrup, or honey 🍯, sugar what killing the younger population in westindese and in United States, lead to all chronic diseases like heart , kidney, high blood pressure, cancer feeder , dementia, alzemer, or even worse production of inflammation in the body that the main source of sickness,

  2. I make this once a year.. okay maybe twice. So I always have to hear what Chris says about these Trini dishes so thank you Chris!! ❤

    Just a couple notes: Here in Vancouver I could only manage to find sorrel (They call it Flor De Jamaica Hibiscus flower) from Mexico. Hope it works.

    They did suggest you wash it before using so I soaked and rinsed a couple times and there was a lot of dust. Hmm

    Love the suggestion Chris, to just add a bit of spice so it’s not overwhelming the flavour, 9 cups of water (that solved the mystery of how much water to use) and two cups of sugar. 👍

    Sharing tonight at New Year’s party with my non Trini friends. Will see how they like it. Cheers!! 🎉🎉🎉

  3. We add pineapple skin and orange peel and cinnamon leaves too and add sugar after boiling it then let it steep for a day or over night or so to let the flavours get together then sweeten.sorrel gives U so much iron .

  4. I'm so glad to see tour video! I tasted that drink in a restaurant and really liked it. I thought it really tasted like ginger and tye flower I know as hibiscus, but that sorrel was another thing ahah. Now I know, thank you! Also, Sorel is the name of a town near where I leave which helped me remember the drink name

  5. Made some sorrel, going off of intuition. I didn’t measure anything.

    Boiled water , added cinnamon sticks, Star anise , cloves, grated ginger, and and orange.

    Cut the eye to low for about 30-45 minutes then cut it off after watching your video, to let it sit for 4H like you said.

    Instead of white cane sugar, I’ll be using agave as a sweetener. Will come back and update. Thank you for your video.

  6. ay, Chris. This is the best drink i ever tasted. My friend is from Jamaica and he made some for me with the yellow sorrelflower, . then he was at home in jamaica and brought some red sorrel for me . Dried. Perfect drink for summerdayz
