It is one of the main ingredients in the Essiac blend.

Commonly used in In tea, soup, and chilled beverages. As an extract or capsule and commonly found in Essiac.

Sorrel does make a wonderfully cooling beverage and soup, and its tart flavor is a perfect foil for hot and spicy herbs and seeds.

People with rheumatism, arthritis, gout, or kidney stones should avoid sorrel as it can worsen their conditions.
