![Traditional Jamaican Sorrel Drink [ part 1 ]](/img/1.gif)
I used to go to a Jamaican American church when i was a kid in Brooklyn. My mom was our church cook for many years. My mother is known for being a little heavy handed when it came to Sorrel. One Christmas Sunday she had the 'smart' idea to bring some white rum and tips just a bit in the Sorrel for an authentic Jamaican flavor. It can hurt nobody right? But she tips a likkle too much inna di Sorrel. After church we ate and drank Sorrel. Needless to say, when we had our evening service, that was service to remember. Di whole church drunk off. Ah di first time me ever see old sister Johnson move so wicked inna church. Di whole church catch ah fire. And some people was to get baptized. Bishop Foss nearly drown off di whole ah dem. One piece ah dancing and shufflin. Every boot heel bruck off.

I put cinnamon sticks, pimento, cloves, ginger and sweetened with sugar and add some red label wine in it. Tried it last year and enjoyed it. You should try it too 😊

We love each other, we must help one another, i give praise to this young beautiful woman.
Thanks for making this video, i am Venezuelan and i tried it once in the US ,a jamaican friend told me to try it. It is really good 👍🏼
De a poco porwue el sorrel tiene oxalatos y produce piedras en los riñones.
I love how my brother's and sister's make these videos for us. People tell me to make videos, i don't want to. I use organic ginger , i squeeze ginger in a one ounce glass, drink it down. If you have high blood pressure want those mumbers to drop,take a piece of garlic,chew it spit it out, just get the juices. Boil 4 pieces off the garlic bulb make a tea, pressure goes down.

Just got back from St. Kitts and had Sorrel drink for the first time and loved it. Have returned home to Canada and found a Caribbean market and bought some sorrel. Can’t wait to try making it although we also bought some sorrel and ginger concentrate syrup.
Good morning family and good health to everyone especially MENTAL. Thank you very much for sharing. 💯💕💯✌️ family 🇯🇲&🇵🇷
I don’t sweeten mine at all and it’s so refreshing.
Oh... this looks refreshing and gooooood! I'm definitely going to try it! We make Ghanaian Sobolo a lot - The Hibiscus petals and ginger, but with pineapple, citrus fruits, and all sorts of peppers & spices)... this looks not only easier, but better for summer! THANK YOU
Thank you so much for making this video. I enjoyed making this sorrel drink.
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice, well done. I am getting ready to make mine today. Mi like fi se when people do the authentic Jamaican sorrel and rum punch, too much spin deh pan dis drink now a days. I ad White Rum and Red label wine to mine. Always have a little without the alcohol though.
I agree with you 100%. I prefer authentic sorrel. When people add other things to it and other spices to it I don't like it. I usually add white rum when I pour mine out in a cup since everyone doesn't drink. But sorrel never lasts long in my house. lol
My grandmother just made this in December 🤤 love this drink ❤💛💚
Love you video and how you stress washing hands and food. Thank you 🙏🏽bc so many online cook are touching their face and hair then touch the food 🤢. I can’t wait to try this! Stay blessed
Thank you. How did you like the recipe when you tried it?
Thank you for the simple directions 😊
That’s awesome and looking very delicious as as well. 👌🔥💯
Thank you
@@racinesscrumptiousdelights I want to learn how to make sorrel and ginger
I've seen people wash the fresh sorrel but not the dried ones, I tend to think washing it would take away some of it's potency.
No. I just washed mine a while ago, as particles are in it that needs to come to the top to be discarded.
I believe this is true. I don't think you need to wash dry sorrel bcuz it's ready to use when you buy..it's like loose tea leaves. You don't wash tea when you buy .they already clean it before they dry . I agree that it prob loses some potency after washing but to each their own :)
Hi Baby Love (what a user name to have lol). No washing it wont take out the color. When you buy dried sorrel, you can't assume that they washed it before it is dried. Every time I wash the dried sorrel I wash it in luke warm to cold water and there are alway dirt and particles that comes from it. It is important to wash it. Don't listen to the rumors.
@@katjean7270 You should definitely wash the dried sorrel before you make it. There will be a lot of dirt in your finished products and unwanted things if you don't wash it. It will not take away from the color or potency. Just wash it in luke warm to cold water.
@@katjean7270 it needs to be washed. If u ever see the amount of dirt n grime that is in it. Wash it and take it out with ur hands. U will see what I'm talking about. I even found stones, gravels, and strange sticks in it. Plus, u can't guarantee how they go about drying it. In concretes where all kinds of things can walk, fly in it, etc. Can't compare it to the process of tea making. I did mine in December and it was so strong, I had to dilute it, plus I reuse it for another portion. Essentially, I got three sets from it. Washing it won't take away the colour at all.
Perfection in a drink 👌
Looks refreshing, will make one day!
Jamaican Sorrel and/or Hibiscus needs to have Clove, Pimento, Cinnamon, Ginger and Mace. Traditionally Evaporated Cane Juice or Logwood Honey is used as a sweetener.
Thank you for sharing the good video.
Thank you for teaching me bless up
You're welcome
Sorrel is good for eyes, hair.
Outstanding job. I cant any suger. Thats the only thing
Thanks Joseph. You can use other sugar alternative. You can also try sweetening it with agave nectar. It have a low glycemic index which is good for diabetics to use.
I used a recipe a long time ago and i hope this is it
Can I ask why you don't add the sugar when it is still hot? It dissolves so much easier
Hi SweetP. When the sorrel is hot you have to let it sit covered so it can steep for 24hours before you touch it. This is why you don't add sugar when it is hot. You would also need to strain the sorrel before the sugar is added. It really doesn't take long for the sugar to dissolve when it is cool.
Next time please show us how you washed your hands
Thank you for this
You're welcome
I like to juice my ginger, it’s easier for me, is that acceptable
As a Trini never used ginger will try next time cinnamon and clove always ....amazing the amount of sugar you need to add perhaps the ginger calms the sourness? Thanks
The ginger makes a big difference and it is not sour when you drink it.
Looking good
Can you use agave or honey? because I do not use white sugar.
Next time use brown cane sugar..
Love the video! What if you want it to ferment a bit and drink it fizzy? I would pour into glass bottles and then what? Do you leave it in the pantry to carbonate?
Thanks for the great content!
Good question. You can put it in a glass bottle in a dark area and it will ferment faster. Red wine bottles works since they are usually in dark bottles.
Thanks! I went ahead and left in a glass bottle in the pantry and it DID ferment to where it was like a beer! The fermentation process also resulted in a small amount of naturally occurring alcohol. Loved it!❤❤
Can add rice grain to aid in fermentation
I love sorrel. Today I bought it without watching any videos on how to make it. After watching your video. I got to go back to the store to buy ginger.
Thank you for the video. How much water you added in the pot to bring to a boil?
I don't use ginger, i use lime and apple, date sugar or agave the real one. I don't use alot of sorrel its good for high blood pressure and diabeties.
For me, 100 g. of dry sorrel for 4 litres worked out great.
Thanks Norma. How did you like it with the ginger.
Everyone makes sorrel differently so there is no right or wrong way to make it. But this is the authentic Jamaican way to make sorrel, you don't need anything extra to have the authentic taste that we all know and love in Jamaica. Thank you for sharing other ways on how to make it for my viewers. I would recommend the agave nectar for diabetics to sweeten the sorrel since it has a low glycemic index.
What is the benefits of it 🤔
Yummy
How long can u keep it ? How do you store ?
How long is the shelf life in the bottles?
It can last for a while but it will ferment because of the ginger and it will change the flavor a little since it will get fizzy. But I will say that it is best to drink it within a week or 2.
Tank U☺️☺️☺️
Can you tell me the size of the bottles. My first time and I want it just like you made it.
You can put it in any size bottles.
Thank u❤️❤️❤️
You're welcome😀
How much water to use for a 8 ounce pack of sorrel
This looks really good! Thanks for sharing, friend! Let's stay connected!
Thank you
Looks delicious. But too much water was wasted during washing, in my opinion
That’s what he said.
No it was not wasted. Hibiscus flower is a plant and there is dirt inside so you have to wash it. If you don't wash it well, you will see a lot of dirt at the bottom of the pot when making this. The amount of washing that I did would not take away from the color or flavor of the drink
@@racinesscrumptiousdelights can you please put up the links for the sorrel - the ones above dont work
@@rw4526 I just updated the links :)
Thank you for your recipe What are the different safe storage methods. I use ice cubing/freeze method. 🌺
I know😢this is kinda of dumb question but I used the Ghanaian brand sorrel does that make a difference
It doesn't make a difference :)
I find the ginger takes the taste from the sorrel drink and makes it taste like ginger beer.
You can try to Use less ginger and it also depends on the sorrel/water ratio, for a pot like hers , you can go with 2bags of sorrel , and about 3small (1inch pieces of ginger ) , personal touches are red wine , and Ray and nephew once finished straining to perfection
You would be best to check out a video for Trinidadian Sorrel.
Hi Angel. It depends on how much ginger you add. You don't want to add too much ginger to over power the sorrel taste. But the ginger gives it the nice kick that it needs.
Does it have to wait 24 hours to sweeten
Did I miss the part where cinnamon sticks and pimento seed (and bay leaf optional )was added into the brew or not everyone does that??
Everyone makes sorrel different ways and some cultures does that. This is the authentic way to make Jamaican sorrel.
How long do you boil it?
Hi Leslie. Once the water boils, I turn off the pot and add the washed sorrel and ginger to the pot and cover it. I leave it for 24 hours to steep.
🟨🟨🟨🟨🟨Interesting! for those of you who do not like ginger this would not be for you. Check out the video for Trinidadian Sorrel .
May I ask what are the benefit of this drink
Sorrel is especially high in vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin that fights inflammation and plays a key role in immune function ( 3Trusted Source Trusted Source ). It's also high in fiber, which can promote regularity, increase feelings of fullness, and help stabilize blood sugar levels
Looks like 2 and half gallons of it. 13 ounces and half a bowl of ginger
Can you use honey instead of honey
Yes
You can. or agave nectar if you are diabetic since it has a low glycemic index
🆙
Baby I know it probably taste good, but you washing all the color and benefits out and pouring down the drain. Ok rinse one time, ok i get it, but three times.
No I am not washing away all the benefits. Hibiscus flower is a plant and there is dirt inside so you have to wash it. If you don't wash it well, you will see a lot of dirt at the bottom of the pot when making this. The amount of washing that I did would not take away from the color or flavor of the drink
Rinse, not wash!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Does it have to be stored in the fridge?
it can be stored in the fridge or on the counter.
make me some!
The next time that I see you I will make more
Is it the same as Hibiscus tea?
Yes. Sorrel is another name for hibiscus 🌺.
not the tea but the dried hibiscus flower.
It sell off...cool nuh man!
Where did you get the sorrel from
They sell it near where I live. But you can also order it on amazon. It will be pricier on amazon
I watched your video and prepare mine to steep after bringing the water to boil. But I notice it has more fruity taste than the spiced taste. This is my second time. I don't know if because I steep it with ginger along with the flower.
I don't add rum or red label to it either. Just sugar after 24hr
@@tamisunshine2312 To get a spiced taste you have to add spices to it. I'm making the authentic jamaican sorrel which does not have spices to it.
Gy
No haces vino,
I didn't know hibiscus flowers and sorrel was the same. Something is wrong here.
It’s the same plant, hibiscus.
Hibiscus tea is not made from the hibiscus flowers like in the garden. It is from this sorrel/Roselle that is a type of hibiscus plant. It is the fattened sepals that are used for the tea.
Hi Rahamut. Sorrel is made from the dried hibiscus plant
They are two different plants though both belong to the hibiscus family.
This one has a tangy taste while the common hibiscus flower doesn't.
Don't use splender if your a diabetic
I appreciate you sharing this recipe, but I have to ask: Are you using an aluminum pot to boil the sorrel? It definitely looks like aluminum. If it's a big pot and not that heavy for its size, it is almost surely aluminum. Also, compare the pot to the bowl in which you washed the sorrel. The bowl is shiny, the pot is not. Usually aluminum pots aren't shiny, while stainless steel pots are always shiny. I would check to be sure, because 1. aluminum is really bad for health, and 2. aluminum reacts with acidic foods, affecting the flavor. Best to not cook with aluminum at all.
Edit: I just looked up the pot on Amazon, and it's definitely aluminum. Get a stainless steel pot, for the sake of your health.
Thanks for the information Tulasi.
That not highbiscas
Yes it is
This is Hibiscus. Sorrel is made from hibiscus plant.
Why are you wasting water like that.
I'm not wasting water. You should always wash your sorrel.
You never wash dried sorrel, wash before you dry
Hi Blossom. This is if you actually pick the plant and is drying it yourself. If you buy the prepackaged dry sorrel like I did, you have to wash the sorrel or else there will be a lot of dirt in your drink. I use cold water to wash my dried sorrel and this does not take away from the color or taste.
Red Bank, NJ. 07701 Blessed Love 👍 Bless up yard 🙏 Love sorry 🍷
What about brown sugar?
You can use brown sugar if you'd like but I prefer my sorrel with white sugar
