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.
