Zobo Drink

 Zobo drink is the West African version to Caribbean sorrel and Latin American agua jamaíca. This is a drink that I’ve culturally enjoyed year around with family and friends,for healing and enjoyment. This extremely refreshing combination of tropical fruit,earthy hibiscus,and aromatic spices! Is a win win!



Zobo Drink

Whatcha Need:

1 cup dried hibiscus 
1 two-inch piece of ginger
1 two-inch piece of turmeric or 1TBS ground 

1/2 orange w/peel 
1/2 tsp clove buds

2 bay leaves 

2 star anise 
2 cinnamon sticks 

3 cups spring water 

1 cup fresh squeezed pineapple juice 


How it’s Done:

Wash hibiscus petals and put in a pot with some water. Add all your other ingredients(except for the pineapple juice)and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat as soon as it starts boiling up. Let it steep for a 4-6 hours can sit overnight. Strain. Add pineapple juice. You can sweeten it but it’s really not necessary🤘🏾
