Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups Water I use a mug to measure my water, so I used 5 mugs of water.
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • 1 Piece Fresh Ginger
  • 1 1/2 handfuls Dried Sorrel (washed)
  • 1 Tablespoon Unsulfured Blackstrap Molasses You can substitute for honey or leave unsweetened.

Instructions
 

  • Boil water andd cinnamon stick to a few minutes. This infuses the water with a sweet cinnamon flavor.
  • Add in washed dried sorrel.
  • While sorrel is boiling. Wash and grate ginger.
  • Add in ginger and turn off the stove. If you have an electric stove turn off after you have added in the ginger. If you have a gas stove, bring the tea back to a boil and turn off.
  • Let the tea steep for about 3 - 5 minutes. This brings out the flavors.
  • Strain the sorrel tea into your tea cup and stir in a spoonful of unsulfured blackstrap molasses.
  • ENJOY!!
