What is Sorrel splash?
Sorrel splash is a refreshing drink flavoured with sorrel leaves, whose naturally sharp, lemony taste gives it its character. Sorrel is familiar in many cuisines as a leafy green; for a drink, the leaves may be steeped in water or blended in, then strained or left in the glass, depending on the recipe. There is no single fixed formula, so sweetness and strength can vary.
Serve it chilled on a warm day, alongside a light meal, or as a tart alternative to sweeter drinks. It is low in calories, with 12 calories per 100 g, and has a lightly herbal finish. If you prefer a gentler flavour, dilute it with more water; a little sweetener can balance the tang without overwhelming it.
