| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Place the sorrel sepals, cinnamon stick, orange peel, whole cloves and sugar in a large jar or crock and pour the boiling water over them. Cool, cover with foil or plastic wrap, and set aside at room temperature for 2 or 3 days.
|
2. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve, return it to the jar, and stir in the rum, ground cinnamon and ground cloves. (Discard the seasonings left in the sieve.)
|
3. Let the liquid stand at room temperature for another 2 or 3 days. Then strain it through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Pour into chilled glasses with or without ice; serve at once.
