Dried Sorrel 3.5oz -(3pks)

Dried Sorrel is the key ingredient of a  drink, made from dried hibiscus flowers, is a traditional punch served around Christmas in Jamaica. It’s tart and tangy and mixes up to a stunning shade of deep magenta. I like to add allspice and a few scrapes of nutmeg to the punch to bring some warmth to its slightly sour flavor. In a perfect world, sorrel punch is enjoyed with rum cake, a dark and moist version of fruit cake made boozy from soaking it in strong Jamaican rum.

Much of the Caribbean has some tradition of punch for Christmas. Most likely, it’s a relic of the colonial history of the region, given punch’s strong association with English customs. Nevertheless, the punch we see in the islands today has evolved to represent how the respective countries have made the practice of holiday punch their own.
