SORREL

La bebida de sorrel es una de los favoritos de cada jamaicana. En el pasado fue una bebida para la Navidad pero hoy en día es posible producir la planta durante cualquier estación del año. 
El sorrel es una bebida que se hace por el proceso de fermentación. Mi abuelo siempre tenía botellas de sorrel fermentando debajo de la cama. Cuando llegábamos en diciembre era un placer beber vasos llenos de este bebida rojo y delicioso.  

La Receta
Un libra de sorrel
Un trozo de jengibre
Unas semillas de pimiento
Un poquito de arroz.
Un poquito de azúcar según su gusto

La Preparación
Limpia y lava el sorrel y jengibre. Hiervan los dos por casi veinte minutos hasta que el sorrel está cocido. Puedes dejarlo por la noche. En la mañana cola la bebida y mezcla con el azúcar. Pon la bebida en una botella y guarda en un lugar oscuro.  Puedes usar el arroz para ayudar con la fermentación.

Si quieres también puedes usar vino o ron en la bebida.

Irish Moss or Sea Moss boiled with Linseed (flaxseed) is a favorite drink of most Jamaicans. Irish Moss is usually referred to also sea moss, carrageen moss, Irish Sea Moss or Jamaican Irish Moss. Where to buy Irish Moss or Sea Moss?  Irish Moss can be purchased in the market, supermarket or sometimes depending on which community you live in someone may be selling it. (Remember I told you about the influx of different cultures well Irish Moss was brought to Jamaica by the Irish).  In my community a Rastaman rides past on his bicycle from time to time and sells fresh Irish Moss and Linseed. Personally, I prefer to prepare my own drink. However, it can be bought already prepared in a tin like this one that most people drink.
