This Jamaican drink, traditionally made with hibiscus flowers and spices, is both bracing and thirst quenching. If you'd like a boozy version, it can serve as the base for a rum punch. Or follow the advice here and serve it with simple syrup and rum on the side as an option for guests.

This soup is a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I'm not a big fan of sorrel, but this soup was surprisingly good. The other ingredients really balanced out the tartness of the sorrel.
