    This is a good recipe. I'm from Jamaica and it's pretty close to what we make. The only thing missing is cinnamon sticks and whole cloves. Sorrel is a drink best made in advance, the longer the steep the stronger the Sorrel. In response to Chef Jim in Jamaica the flower and drink is called Sorrel. I've seen it in latin markets listed as Hibiscus and Jamaica flower, but Jamaicans and carribean people call it Sorrel. Also we sometimes use port wine instead of rum to finish the drink.

    Maybe it is a regional thing, but if you live in So Calif you are looking for Jamaica or Hibiscus flowers. They are available everywhere under that name. Have live here for 60 years and NEVER heard it called sorrel. There are bulk bins at Mexican Market since we have no Spanish markets in Calif that I have ever seen. I think on the show that Bobby Flay referred to them as Hibiscus flowers on seeing the dried flowers - and he is from the East Coast I think.
    Jamaica flowers also couple well with whole allspice, whole cinnamon, and raisins. In teas, these items are sometimes added to enhance flavor and sweeten the tart flavor of the Hibiscus flowers.
    Hope this helps. A very refreshing summer beverage even without alcohol.
