Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the aromatics: In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add the grated ginger, cloves, cinnamon stick, and orange peel. Boil for 5 minutes to release the oils.

  2. 2

    Add the sorrel: Remove the pot from the heat and immediately stir in the dried sorrel.

  3. 3

    Steep: Cover the pot tightly and let it steep at room temperature for at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours. The liquid will turn a deep, vibrant crimson.

  4. 4

    Strain: Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract all the liquid and flavor.

  5. 5

    Sweeten and chill: Stir in the sugar until completely dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness. Chill in the refrigerator until ice cold, and serve over ice (with a splash of white rum if desired).
