Sorrell Drink 6 cups sorrell sepals, picked from the stalk
1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
3 two-inch pieces orange peel
3 whole cloves, crushed
12 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups sugar
Juice of 1 lime
Place the sorrell, ginger, orange peel, allspice and cloves in a large stainless-steel or glass bowl or pot. Pour in 10 cups of boiling water and stir. Cover and leave to steep for 24 hours. Strain out the liquid through a sieve. Boil the remaining 2 cups of water and blend it with the sugar until dissolved. Add the sugary water to the strained liquid, along with the lime juice. Stir to blend completely. Sweeten further, if desired. Serve over crushed ice.
Optional: Add a dash of sunset rum for extra spike.
