This Jamaican drink, traditionally made with hibiscus flowers and spices, is both bracing and thirst quenching. If you'd like a boozy version, it can serve as the base for a rum punch. Or follow the advice here and serve it with simple syrup and rum on the side as an option for guests.

This soup was a lot of work to make. I don't think it was worth the effort.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as green as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This soup was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the sorrel had been cooked for a shorter amount of time.

I had a hard time finding sorrel at my local grocery store. I ended up having to order it online.

I'm not sure I would make this soup again. The flavor of the sorrel was a bit too strong for me.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sorrel. I had a bunch of sorrel that was about to go bad, and this soup was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a huge fan of sorrel, but I really enjoyed this soup. The other ingredients helped to balance out the tartness of the sorrel.

This sorrel soup is a delicious and refreshing dish, perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The sorrel leaves add a lovely tanginess to the soup, and the other ingredients, such as potatoes, carrots, and onions, help to create a well-rounded flavor.
