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.

    I just made this for my West African husband today, though they call it Zobo. But I put fresh pineapple in with the sorrel and much more ginger. Then after it was strained I added drink crystals instead of sugar.....so yummy.

    One of my favorite recipe from Caribbeanpot (Thanks Caribbeanpot). I am from Barbados and I love finding recipes that remind me of home. I am making this right now to be had with my Easter dinner. I added bay leaf to mine. I also let it steep overnight so that all the different ingredients get to blend together.

    I first drank Sorrel when I visited Guyana, South America (2006) for a wedding. It was one of the most unique and refreshing drinks I'd ever had. Thanks for sharing this recipe so that I could enjoy the flowers I'd purchased recently.

    Got 3 Gallons of Sorrel i made sitting in my refrigerator. Sorrel after you make it can be really strong like its concentrated, so you may have to dilute it if its too strong to your liking. The strained leaves and ginger and such you can reuse with a little bit of water, not as much as the first time to reboil and get extra Sorrel juice from the leaves and then discard. But you get a bit more out the leaves than just discarding them the first time around.

    Try honey or agave instead of sugar. The best sorrel I've ever tried was at the NYC West Indian Labor Day parade and he sweetened it with honey instead of sugar. You could taste the flavor of everything he put in it w/o it being too sweet.

    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!! 🎉🎉🎉

      I prefer white sugar for sorrel because it doesnt interefere with the colour of the drink. Brown sugar is great for something like bread, pone, conkies where you can appreciate the flavour better. But of course we each do what works best for us.
