Making Sorrel Iced Tea.

My first sorrel tea experience was at my sister in law’s house (Amira) everyone raves about her sorrel tea, and baked salmon, and steak, well she is an amazing cook, and after tasting her sorrel tea, I and hubby tried to recreate it in our humble kitchen.

I read a lot about sorrel’s health benefits and yes it can lower blood pressure, lower bad cholesterol, and detoxify the entire body. Can you imagine that your body is healing while you are doing the simplest thing which is drinking delicious sorrel iced tea.

Although this recipe of Sorrel Iced Tea will keep you wanting to pour more and more in your glass, but too much of sorrel can create kidney stones, so moderation is the key.

    Hi,popped in here from Nagi's blog. We make this in my country Nigeria, we call it zobo.We boil the leaves with ginger and pineapple. If the pineapple is much it can also act as the sweetner if not we add sugar or honey ,we also add lemon or vanilla for flavour then refrigerate it. It's delicious served cold. I will also try your method.
