What it is
These tea bags contain a blend of dried sorrel flowers and ginger, offering a unique flavor profile. Sorrel, also known as hibiscus sabdariffa, provides a tart and fruity base, while ginger adds a warm, spicy note. The combination creates a refreshing and invigorating beverage, often enjoyed hot or cold. The tea bags are designed for convenient brewing, allowing for a quick and easy preparation of this distinctive drink.
How people cook with it
This tea is a popular choice for a flavorful and aromatic hot beverage. It can also be served chilled for a refreshing drink.
- Brewed hot for a warming drink
- Chilled for a refreshing iced tea

To prepare, place one tea bag in a mug or teapot. Pour hot water over the tea bag and let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your desired strength. For a stronger flavor, you can use two tea bags. Once steeped, remove the tea bag. This tea can be enjoyed plain, or you can add sweeteners like honey or sugar to taste. For an iced version, brew a stronger batch, let it cool, and serve over ice. A squeeze of fresh lime can enhance the fruity notes.
