Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh sorrel leaves, washed and chopped
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
• 4 cups water
• Ice cubes
• Lemon slices and sorrel leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sorrel: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the chopped sorrel leaves and simmer for about 5 minutes until the leaves are wilted. Remove from heat and let it steep for another 10 minutes.
2. Strain the Mixture: After steeping, strain the sorrel infusion through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing down on the leaves to extract as much liquid as possible.
3. Mix the Lemonade: Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, and the remaining 2 cups of cold water to the pitcher. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
4. Chill: Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve: Pour the sorrel infused lemonade over ice and garnish with lemon slices and fresh sorrel leaves.
