A Lucian treat with Mauby and sorrell


From Trevor 'Bones' Blanchard

I bought some mauby bark and dried sorrel from the Castries market.
Here is how to prepare the perfect drink.
Boil each in the usual way but use small amounts. The concentrate can be refrigerated for
later use.

Add pure honey or maple syrup to the diluted mauby and add the mix to the sorrel.
It is not the same as mixing all three together.
The honey or maple cuts the bitter in the mauby better when sweetened individually.
You don't want either the mauby or sorrel too strong...dilute to a comfort level.
Throw in a slice of lemon....not lemon juice !
Throw in crushed ice...do not blend.
I like the drink with grilled farm raised Atlantic salmon with two green figs.
Almost no fat here. The omega oil goes good with the green figs.
The sorrel / mauby is almost a wine.
Try it.

.....Bones
