Sorrel

A Trini Christmas is not
Christmas without sorrel.
A good homemade sorrel is
absolutely refreshing!

| Refreshing glass of Sorrel |
Because I
enjoy sorrel so much, I ensure that I have my supply throughout the year, so
that anytime I crave a cold refreshing glass or sorrel I am able to indulge in
a real Trini semi-non alcoholic drink.
I say semi-non alcoholic drink, because when sweetening sorrel I do include a bit of rum, angostura bitters and cloves.
I am
aware that many persons have their own secret ingredient, which they include
when preparing their sorrel, to get that special taste they can call their own.
One point
to note is that Sorrel takes a lot of sugar to sweeten, so always remember the
high sugar content when consuming.
