Jamaican Sorrel Drink | Now You're Cooking

Sorrel is a sweet and tart, ruby-red drink that is a favourite during the Christmas and New Year holiday season across the Caribbean. Just like black cake is synonymous with this festive time of year for these island nations, a chilled glass of sorrel is a staple on the table as well.
Sorrel has its roots in West Africa, and is a species of the tropical hibiscus family. This sweet and refreshing drink is made from the fresh or dried sepals of the roselle plant. The sepals are the part of the flower that protects it while it buds, and supports the petals.
Although most commonly associated with Jamaica, different countries add their own flavour to the sorrel drink. In Latin America it’s known as agua de Jamaica. Bissap happens to be the national drink of Senegal. In Nigeria, sorrel goes by the name of zobo.

Hello! I picked mine up from Danforth Food Market in Scarborough. I believe there's one in Brampton off Kennedy. You should also be able to find it in Oceans Fresh Food Market and Afrocan Caribbean Supermart (off Airport Rd.). ☺️
