Call this iced tea or sorrel-ade, it’s an unusual way to quench a thirst. Surprisingly, little of the tartness of fresh sorrel comes through when you steep the leaves; instead they give a mild floral accent to the drink.

Ingredients

4 cups wild sheep sorrel leaves, lightly packed, sliced thin (or garden sorrel)
4 cups water, boiling
2 tablespoons honey
2 cups Organic Valley Orange Juice
lemon slices
small sorrel leaves

Directions

Place sorrel leaves in teapot. Pour boiling water over sorrel. Stir in honey. Let mixture cool to room temperature. Strain it into a small pitcher and chill in refrigerator.

To serve, stir in orange juice and pour over ice, into pretty glasses. Twist a lemon slice over each glass, to release a little juice into the drink, then add a lemon slice to each drink. Garnish each glass with a small sorrel leaf.
