For a more intense flavor, consider using fresh ginger and orange zest. Adjust the amount of sugar to your personal preference. If you prefer a less tart tea, you can reduce the steeping time to 6 hours. Store leftover tea in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium-sized bowl, combine the dried sorrel buds, grated ginger, dried orange zest, and whole clove. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepBring the filtered water to a rolling boil in a saucepan or kettle. Once boiling, carefully pour the hot water over the sorrel mixture in the bowl. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
03
StepStir in the granulated sugar until it is completely dissolved into the hot liquid. This ensures a smooth and even sweetness throughout the tea. (Cook time: 2 minutes)
04
StepAllow the mixture to steep at room temperature for a minimum of 8 hours, or preferably overnight. This extended steeping time allows the flavors to fully meld and intensify, creating a richer and more complex tea. (Steep time: 8-12 hours)
05
StepAfter steeping, strain the sorrel mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher. Discard the solids, ensuring a clear and sediment-free tea. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
06
StepServe the Caribbean Sorrel Tea over ice cubes. Garnish with a slice of orange or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of elegance, if desired. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
