Let’s not forget that Christmas traditions can provide comfort and are the blueprint on things to do during these times. Be safe and Season Greetings as I leave with you the recipe to my favourite beverage, Sorrel.

Sorrel is the blueprint of any Traditional
Caribbean Christmas get together. Sorrel contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, calcium, niacin, riboflavin, and more. Sorrel is a bushy shrub which has been grown for hundreds of years and has spikes or chalices of reddish-greenish flowers that become purplish when they bloom in the summer. It is a slender plant which grows to roughly 60 to 70 cm in height, with oblong leaves, a juicy stem, and roots that grow deep into the ground.

If you have never tried it nor made it here’s the recipe make and drink you will enjoy:

1 lb sorrel
2 quarts of water
3 oz ginger
Pimento
2 lbs sugar

Start by boiling water in a large pot, adding sorrel, and then small pieces of ginger. After the water comes to its boiling point and the ginger starts to turn the water red, stir occasionally, then turn off the stove.
