Author's Notes

I started off with 1 cup of sugar but ended up using 2 cups, but your tolerance for sugar will be a bit different than mine. Start with one and add more as desired.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Bring the Water (8 cups) to a boil in a large pot, then add the Sorrel Flowers (2 cups), Fresh Ginger (1 tsp), Cinnamon Stick (1 stick), Granulated Sugar (1 cup), and Whole Cloves (4) to the pot. Bring back to a boil and reduce the heat to a rolling boil.
step 2
Allow this to boil for about 5 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover the pot, and allow this to steep for at least 4 hours (overnight would be best).
step 3
Next, strain the contents into a juice jug and add more sugar as needed. You can store this in the fridge for about a week if you don’t finish it before then.
