3 whole cloves
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 (3 inch) stick cinnamon
½ teasoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 ½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 quart boiling water
1 cup superfine sugar, to taste
3 heaping cups of dried sorrel podsgingerce

Place the sorrel pods, cloves, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and
ginger in a large crock or heavy bowl. Pour the boiling water over
them and allow the mixture to steep for 24 hours.
When ready, strain the sorrel and add the sugar, stirring well. Pour
the sorrel into a scalded quart jar that can be loosely capped and
add the rice. (There are a lot of theories about what it does, but all
agree that the best reason to add it is that it’s traditional.)
Allow the jar to remain in a cool, dark place for 2 days or longer,
then serve. This sorrel is strong and should be served diluted: half
sorrel, half water. Whether or not you choose to add rum is strictly
up to you.
Makes 1 Quart
