flowers)

Granulated sugar
1 cup rum
1 cup wine
1 gallon water
1 cup,
doz. Flowers
Directions:
Put sorrel and fresh ginger into a
container. Pour boiling water into the container, cover it, and let it
steam. After the mixture cools, strain, and add granulated sugar to taste,
a little rum, and wine. Transfer the mixture into smaller containers and
put into the refrigerator. Serve cool. Enjoy!
Personal Passage:
In Jamaica, the farmers plant the
sorrel seed in August. It grows and is ready by November for the harvest.
The plant is about a foot tall and has buds. When the buds open, I cut the
stem and use the open
buds.
