Olivia, that was an excellent mocktail-tea—thank you for sharing it! As soon as I saw your video on TikTok, I went out and bought a pineapple just so I could make it. The flavor profile is so well-balanced. I made a slightly darker version because I used sorrel/hibiscus (I was raised calling it sorrel, I’m Trinidadian), and I have a lot of bags of dried sorrel flowers at home.
I also had rooibos and hibiscus tea on hand, as the recipe called for. I tried it with and without honey, and I honestly love it both ways. To serve, I rimmed my glass with honey and rolled it in a mix of blitzed dried sorrel flowers and sugar, as you suggested in the recipe. It added a lovely floral tang that made it feel extra special.
I should’ve known you understood flavor deeply when I saw you pull out The Flavor Bible in one of your videos! This is a fantastic recipe—I’ll be serving it all summer. Thank you again!
