„I know the perfect drink for our Christmas party,“ Casey said.
Zeke looked up from his car magazine. „Lemme guess, eggnog? Creamy and sweet.“
„Sweet, but spicey. But we need to go to the African market at first.“
„Oh. African eggs are different from ours?“
„ I don't know.“ Casey laughed. „But these markets are the best place to find dried sepals of the hibiscus flower.“
„Hibiscus sepals?“
„For a Jamaican sorrel.“
„Never heard about this before.“
„I guess most people in New York don't. But it's delicious. And with fresh ginger, allspice berries, and cloves, it makes a perfect Christmas drink.“ He paused shortly. „It was a kind of tradition every year that my grandma made some for the family. When I was younger, I always got a kids version, without rum.“
„Tradition, huh?“ Now Zeke smiled, well knowing how much all this family stuff meant for Casey. To spent his first Christmas without his beloved grandma and far away from home was hard. „Well, I guess that's a good reason to give it a try. Let's head to the market first, before we go to the mall for more decoration.“
