Sheep'S Sorrel Tea - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb violet wood sorrel, stems and leaves
1 quart water
honey, to taste

Preparation

Boil the water in a 3-quart pan. Toss in the Violet Wood Sorrel and allow the blend to boil really hard until the brew turns deep purple in color.
Strain out all the leaves and stems and return the liquid to a slow boil, dissolving the honey until the desired sweetness is achieved. (Sugar or sorghum molasses can also be used as a sweetener).
Remove from the heat, pour the liquid into a clean jar and refrigerate until it is very cold.
Serve ice cold with no ice cubes.
