Dried Sorrel flowers??? OMG I had no idea they were edible. What does it taste like? I was thinking planting sorrel around the house, and now I REALLY want to think about it, ha.
ReplyDeleteFriends from the West Indies & Jamaica were the first to turn me on to sorrel. Because it blooms around December it's their holiday drink. They also replace cranberry sauce with jellied sorrel. It's to die for. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who I shared my sorrel jelly with fell in love with it. It's been less than a week since I made it & I've already had requests for more. It's that good.
DeleteSorrel has to be sweetened & then if you like, mixed with things like cinnamon, cloves and/or ginger. I recommend that you google a recipe for the drink. Even the recipe on the back of the package that I now have is almost entirely to taste. And if you sweeten it with something other than sugar, you get many health benefits as well (high blood pressure, weight loss, etc...) Here's an article I found interesting regarding sorrel. http://doctorschar.com/features/jamacian-sorrel/
Last thing, remember that like any tea, the sorrel blooms get steeped not boiled.
Good luck with it.
Abramo.
