(Baking, on the other hand, is a science and the recipe is a formula to be followed exactly) So I took the recipe above and used it as inspiration for my Sorrel Punch. I started with a jamaica mix (hibiscus flower punch) Added cloves, cinnamon stick, and candied ginger (I didn't have any fresh :D ) and brought it to a boil. I let it cool and steep for 2 days, added orange, lemon, and lime slices, Kraken rum, and served it over ice. Very refreshing and the spiced Kraken played well with the cloves and cinnamon. OK, I have no idea what "played well" means but the real mixologists always use that phrase :lol:
