🇯🇲 Jamaica recipe
Sorrel Drink
Sorrel drink is Jamaica's quintessential Christmas beverage, a deep crimson infusion made from the dried sepals of the hibiscus flower known locally as sorrel. The petals are steeped with ginger, cloves, and cinnamon to create a tart, aromatic concentrate that is sweetened and served ice-cold. Many Jamaicans spike it with white rum for holiday celebrations, though it is equally refreshing without.
