Recipe Notes 1. If using fresh sorrel you will need to use MORE since it is not as strong as dried sorrel. 2. You may use a muslin/cheese cloth to strain your sorrel if your strainer isn't fine enough. 3.You may store the sorrel in glass bottles in the fridge. However, Sorrel can be made now and fermented at room temperature till next Christmas. For fermentation increase the sugar content significantly and store in a dark, cool place to allow that fermentation. A few grains of rice are sometimes added to the bottle of sorrel to speed up the fermentation process.
