Fans are a fun way for you to follow other users on Listia! When you become a fan of another user you will be able to see their newly listed auctions in "My Listia". There is a limit on the number of users you can become a fan of. You are allowed to become a fan of 1000 users, but after that the ratio of your fans to users you fan has to be greater than 90%. If you do not meet this requirement you will not be able to fan any more users until you increase your ratio.

I tried to fan you but it says fan limit reached.

I do not know that happened. I will contact listia and see what I can find out. Thanks for letting me know.

What is the drink you are speaking of?

In Jamaica, Christmas wouldn’t be the same without sorrel and Christmas cake. Both have rum in them … yes, we like our rum during the holidays! The sorrel flower is in full bloom at Christmastime in Jamaica so that’s one of the reasons it’s a traditional holiday favourite. It has a deep red colour and unique flavour enhanced with spices, lemon juice and rum. You can omit the rum, but I personally think it tastes better with it. For this recipe you can use fresh or dried sorrel. I use dried sorrel, which is easier to find where I live. If you’re lucky enough to find fresh sorrel just double the amount you use for this recipe.

Ingredients
2 ½ cups dried sorrel
3 oz fresh ginger, grated
5 pimento berries
10 cups boiling water
2 cups sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
¾ cup white rum
Makes 10 cups

Method
1. Place sorrel, ginger and pimento berries in a large pot or mixing bowl
2. Pour boiling water over the ingredients; stir and place in fridge overnight to steep
3. Using a large strainer, pour the steeped liquid into another container; use a spoon to squeeze more liquid out of the sorrel
4. Add sugar, lemon juice and rum to sorrel and stir until sugar has dissolved

Enjoy over ice

Tip: To prevent if from fermenting, store sorrel drink in the fridge or cold cellar.

Soo Vool!! Thanks For Sharing :)
