Tropical Sun Natural Sorrel 100g

Description

Tropical Sun Natural Sorrel 100g is dried sorrel — the same hibiscus flower used in Nigerian zobo, known across the Caribbean as sorrel and brewed into a deep red, tangy festive drink traditionally enjoyed at Christmas with ginger, cinnamon and citrus.

How to make sorrel drink

• Rinse the dried sorrel briefly under cold water.
• Add to a pot of water with fresh ginger, cinnamon and orange peel.
• Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20-25 minutes until deep red.
• Strain, sweeten to taste, and chill before serving ice cold.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container away from direct sunlight. Keeps well for up to 12 months.

Frequently asked

Is this the same as the hibiscus used for zobo?

Yes — sorrel and zobo are made from the same dried hibiscus flower, with Caribbean and Nigerian traditions using slightly different spice blends.

Can I add rum?

Many Caribbean recipes add a splash of rum once the drink has cooled — entirely optional.
