Tips on How to make Zobo drink

Zobo is the word in the Hausa language for the edible plant Hibiscus sabdariffa, as well as the drink made from its petals. It is easy to make and it’s refreshing. This zobo drink recipe is quick and requires just a few ingredients.

Below are tips on how to make Zobo drink

1. In a pot, pass the washed zobo leaves and pour enough water to cover it totally.
2. Cook on medium heat and leave to boil for a few minutes.
3. Add the ginger and the garlic, add more water and keep boiling for at least 30 minutes. This is the time it will take for the zobo leaves to be completely soft.
4. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool down completely.
5. Blend your pineapples while your zobo cools.
6. When cool, sieve out the zobo leaves. Then pour the juice through a chiffon cloth to remove tiny particles and leave only a smooth juice.
7. Add the pineapple juice. You can sieve it through the chiffon cloth again to make sure there are no particles left.
8. Add any artificial flavours of your choice at this time and stir.
9. Pour into bottles and refrigerate.
10. Serve with ice and sliced fruits. Enjoy it alone or with a snack.
