1 cup dried Hibiscus flowers or sorrel (I bought mine on Amazon)

1 orange peel

1 or 2 cinnamon sticks

2 inches of fresh ginger peeled and sliced

4 cups of boiling water

1 cup of sugar

Jamaican Dark Rum

Ice

Lime wedges

In a large bowl combine Hibiscus flowers, orange peel, cinnamon sticks, and ginger. Add boiling hot water. Allow mixture to steep for at least 2 hours. Up to overnight is fine too. The longer it sits, the stronger the flavor.

Strain sorrel and sweeten with sugar to taste. I like a cup but you may like yours a little bit less sweet.
Chill sorrel. Feel free to drink as is for a great non-alcoholic drink.

To make Cocktail: combine rum and sorrel over ice and finish with a squeeze of lime.
