- How to make Sorrel as it's made in the Caribbean using a traditional recipe from Trinidad and Tobago. This spiced sorrel drink is popular around the Christmas season in the Caribbean, since that's when the sorrel flower blooms and is available for use. However I'm using dried sorrel in this recipe for the drink.

@Scoop763 Note that my videos are for a wide audience who may not know everything about Caribbean cuisine, thus the "talk too much" explanations. See that little X on the top right of your page, feel free to use it rather that complain. I love to talk and make to apologies for it.
caribbeanpot - 🤣🤣 you should become a "Storyteller"!... you'd be very very good at it! Have you ever seriously considered becoming a "Storyteller"?... you would be a star overnight... instant success (raking in load$ of money$)!!!
caribbeanpot Talk all you want so long as you continue to deliver exquisite cuisine from your kitchen!
we love ur talking bruh thats why were here
100% we're here for the explanations, that's how we get better, because after a video we understand what we need to do.
@caibbeanpot you didn’t show how you strained the sorrel! You talked lot though. Thanks!
I just made this for my West African husband today, though they call it Zobo. But I put fresh pineapple in with the sorrel and much more ginger. Then after it was strained I added drink crystals instead of sugar.....so yummy.
I first drank Sorrel when I visited Guyana, South America (2006) for a wedding. It was one of the most unique and refreshing drinks I'd ever had. Thanks for sharing this recipe so that I could enjoy the flowers I'd purchased recently.
One of my favorite recipe from Caribbeanpot (Thanks Caribbeanpot). I am from Barbados and I love finding recipes that remind me of home. I am making this right now to be had with my Easter dinner. I added bay leaf to mine. I also let it steep overnight so that all the different ingredients get to blend together.
I made this yesterday. It is so good! Told some friends, and they suggested adding orange peel.
This sorrel is boss, especially when u add the dried orange peels, this is a must try. the recipe is excellent. thanks Chris!
teneika williams how do you do it

Thank you....Clear and understandable explanation....feels like we’re right there making it with you!! Mom/Grandma who usually made it is gone on to heaven--Will be using you recipe to make some for the family..Thanks!!
Today is Memorial Day 2020. I have been watching this video for months and finally decided that today would be the day. I am so glad that I did because, Brother, this is better than lemonade! Now I don't have to buy bottles of this from my Jamaican store. Thank you for teaching us.
I'm from Ghana,and I do lots of this drinks at home.its very nice
Awesome I made my first batch after seeing this video. I love it. I always got mine at Christmas from my son's mother in law. Now I can make some for others throughout the year smiles
You are a well spoken cook. Like the fact you are easy to understand. I can learn easily and try the recipe quickly. Another thumbs up
Today I've made my first Sorrel drink thanks to you. The instructions are easy. It tastes delicious.
In Panama we drink "saril" (sah-reel) all the time but mostly in December -alone or adding some ginger-. It's really delicious and healthy. Nice channel, love to see that we share a lot of flavours my friend! :)
Got 3 Gallons of Sorrel i made sitting in my refrigerator. Sorrel after you make it can be really strong like its concentrated, so you may have to dilute it if its too strong to your liking. The strained leaves and ginger and such you can reuse with a little bit of water, not as much as the first time to reboil and get extra Sorrel juice from the leaves and then discard. But you get a bit more out the leaves than just discarding them the first time around.
thank you so much i really needed this.I am Puerto Rican and my fiance is jamaican however my next door neighbor gave me a drink that i couldnt stop drinking and from there i have tried everythin and nothing seems to work for me. i came accross your video thank you soooo much is soooo good!!!! i will drinking this all year round!!!! thank you and God bless!!!!!
I love sorrel any time of the year...thanks for sharing your recipe!
i am from Trinidad.. grow my own sorrel, and always love to make me a nice jug of sorrel drink.. always great, especially around this time of the year.. =)
You have always been my go to Guy! Everything comes out so good each time. Excited to make this right now.
One of my favorite drinks!
had a bag in my house forever, never knew it was this easy!
Thank you, you're my go to Man for the Caribbean dishes. I discovered that my son in Colorado Springs, follows you on you-tube too.
Thank you showing us how to make this awesome drink
Thank you. Sorrel is one of my favorite drinks
Your videos are so straightforward and enjoyable. Thank you for such informative videos.
me and my partner recently visited the family in barbados and we were offered sorrel alot so now we are back home in the uk i thought i would surprise my boo by making this tasty refreshment :) thankyou so much!! seasons greetings to 1 and all :)
Thank you soo much..
I cone back to this recipe every year! God bless you Chris 😁👊🏼
ay, Chris. This is the best drink i ever tasted. My friend is from Jamaica and he made some for me with the yellow sorrelflower, . then he was at home in jamaica and brought some red sorrel for me . Dried. Perfect drink for summerdayz
Sorrel is good everyday! Thanks.
Chris I always watch your vids but never leave a comment but what you do with the sugar in the warm water is brilliant. I do that , I call it my way. Am glad that there's someone else with a brilliant idea without feeling like a fool. When I go outside the box people tend to look at me strange, wondering where I come from 👍👍👍👍👍
Just made some with Stevia and added a Bay leaf as someone recommended! Delicious! Tha s for your video!
Love this drink!!
I got 4 bags today. I will be making mine this weekend! TFS
I tried this recipe and totally enjoyed it....will make more for Christmas... thanks 👍
I live in the uk and have grown a massive amount of the stuff that no-one else wants!! It doesn't have a great reputation here. Thanks for this.
Thanks Chris I'm trying this in a few days.
Love this drink
thanks for sharing ur idea, have never thought of adding cinamon sounds like a good idea will give a trial soon
I enjoy drinking sorrel drink its lovely we Guyanese love the local local drink
Try honey or agave instead of sugar. The best sorrel I've ever tried was at the NYC West Indian Labor Day parade and he sweetened it with honey instead of sugar. You could taste the flavor of everything he put in it w/o it being too sweet.
Next time you go to J’ouvert, grab some Bake
The honey was delicious!
Thanks ! I made this today :) going to leave it over night ! hopefully my man loves it :)
I made this& it came out great...and its the same sorrel package :) my fren first made this& I was blown away by how she made it and she told me how to to it and it came out jus so..but she didn't say to boil it..just put it in the boiling hot water & it came out just like this when i put it to sit..so this is great!! GREAT! GREAT!.
Thank you for your recipe
I love sorrel and make it all year round from the plants I grow here and freeze in the Caribbean. Have also experimented with making a cake with it.
That was wonderful, i will try groeing my own next spring
Excellent video! You are helping me make my first Sorrel drink. I will let you know how it does.
Sweet Blessings...
Thank you very much for this recipe :-) this is by far the best and simplest to understand recipe of this drink I have been able to find. I have been looking for a recipe.
I am pleased you are using the dry ones
Yummy! I can't wait to make this!
I made it 2 days ago with dried sorrel.......man.....all I can say is thank you so much Chris it tastes fabulous with your recipe. Last year I put too much ginger and it was so bitter now I know just a lil bit.....perfect !!!! Love your channel and btw the Caribbean black cake....mmm ......boss man!!
Ginger kills the sorrel. Use it without ginger and everything will be fine
@@gavinscott10 what??? What kind of ginger are you using?
@Curliloxx If it's bitter it ain' de ginger! Could be too much clove or someting else you added!
@@remiem-iw7uk I use ZERO ginger in my sorrel. It taste just fine without it.
I like to thank my Tanty Brenda, for making me aware of your site. Growing up I was more of a pot timer than a cook so I missed out on this knoeledge. I live in the uk and will be sending this link to friends and family keep up the good work great idea
Great love the recipe thanks
Going to try this sorrel recipe for Christmas.

omg! I used to work with a lot of caribbean ladies and they would bring sorrel at every party we had! Love! love! it. I found a recipe on line but it's great to have the visuals to go along with it. Now I just have to find the sorrel plant. Thanks for sharing!
Hy I am your fan since 2015.
I love your food .I follow your rece
Nice drink it is up my friend love it.
Im enjoying everyone of the recipies
Beautiful
I was drinking sorrel for many years. I just bought fresh dried sorrel from Angel Brand in my local area. After watching this video I will become a pro...
I'm so glad to see tour video! I tasted that drink in a restaurant and really liked it. I thought it really tasted like ginger and tye flower I know as hibiscus, but that sorrel was another thing ahah. Now I know, thank you! Also, Sorel is the name of a town near where I leave which helped me remember the drink name
Those boys talking are from St. Croix USVI... one of them is parted bless his soul. It was very entertaining. When we make it at home we sing this tune
Yrxva 🙏🏽 Jose!
We also made ice cubes with it for on hot days. Delicious 😋 ❤
great presentation, very articulate
I love your cooking videos!
In Ghana we call this sobolo.
@Asante Akan - thanx for that useful info. Most of the plants/fruits/vegetables in Jamaica & other West Indian countries originated in Africa & came over on those "slave ships" from Africa.
Funny in Naija we call it Sobo
Asante Akan
Always good to hear the names of different foodstuff. In the Caribbean its called sorrel.
How do you use the sobolo in other dishes?
thanks buddy bin always wanting to know how to make it👍
Chris, you are wicked, man!
I make this once a year.. okay maybe twice. So I always have to hear what Chris says about these Trini dishes so thank you Chris!! ❤
Just a couple notes: Here in Vancouver I could only manage to find sorrel (They call it Flor De Jamaica Hibiscus flower) from Mexico. Hope it works.
They did suggest you wash it before using so I soaked and rinsed a couple times and there was a lot of dust. Hmm
Love the suggestion Chris, to just add a bit of spice so it’s not overwhelming the flavour, 9 cups of water (that solved the mystery of how much water to use) and two cups of sugar. 👍
Sharing tonight at New Year’s party with my non Trini friends. Will see how they like it. Cheers!! 🎉🎉🎉
I making a batch now. I use some allspice I had sitting around since I ain't have any cinnamon sticks. Thanks for the recipe. Big up!
Now tuning in because i'm going to reap from my garden to make juice...
thank you for this recipe! :)

Last year I made sorrel wine, it was awesome 👌🏽
thanks for this. love this drink. they have it in Asia too and call it kurkede if I'm not mistaken.
30 years ago we used to Live in EGYPT! THEY call this karkhadhy' boiled and with sugar. But your this Recipe IS Exalant. I Hope I am able to find them in SPAIN😊thank you.🌻🌻👍🎉🎀🎈merry Christmasto you 20 20🎉
