How To Prepare Zobo Drink.

How To Prepare Zobo Drink.

Zobo; when ever I had zobo, what crosses my mind are "an ancient locally juice", not until I had about the benefits from my doctor and confirm it from another doctor. It has alot of medicinal properties which can help in High Blood Pressure, Constipation, Diabetes, Constipation, Lost of Appetite, Fever, Cold and Infection, Kidney Disease and Cancer. Is also known as Hibiscus sabdariffa Drinks.  Haven't tasted it, its undeniable the best... It's a drink in which is slightly thick, colourful, pleasant and tasty. Nowadays Hibiscus sabdariffa leaf can still be used to make cold and hot tea. It has huge amounts of vitamin C.


INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR THE ZOBO DRINK.

NOTE; with the following ingredients am about to list below is what I use to make 10litres of Zobo drink. Although you may get more than that with the same amount of ingredients but it depends on the concentration you want.


* 4 Milk Cups of dry Zobo leaves.

* 1½ Glove of Garlic.


* 1½ of Big Piece of Ginger or
2 tablespoonfuls of dry grounded Ginger.


* ½ of a very big owl ripe Pineapple.


* More than Enough waters.


Notes; Before you processed with the preparation of the Zobo drink.


1. Pour the dry Zobo leaves into a bowl of cold water and wash it repeatedly. Mostly in Nigeria the Zobo leaves sold are usually dusty so you have to select it and make sure you wash off all the dust. While washing the zobo leaves, you will feel like you have lost all the flavours and colour but NO, the dry zobo leaves still have a lot of colour when it starts to boil.


2. Wash, peel and slices the pineapple, and set aside.


3. If using the normal ginger, peel and chop the ginger and garlic into tiny pieces, and set aside.


Directions.

1. Set up your cooker or stove and place a deep pot on it, then pour the washed zobo leaves into the pot.


2. Pour the slices pineapples and add more than enough waters to it.
Notes; the water you will be adding depends on the amount of the zobo drink you wants.


3. Cook for about 10 minutes.


4. After 10 minutes, add the ginger and the garlic, if necessary add more water and continue cooking, cook for like 20 minutes. By then the zobo leaves and pineapples would have been tender.


5. Turn off the cooker or stove and keep the pot aside to cool down completely to 2°C.


6. When it completely cool down, pour into a sieve and squeeze out the juice from the left pineapples and zobo leaves on top the sieve.


7. At this point in time you can add any artificial flavours of your choice and stir together.


8. Pour into bottles or any tin and keep in freezers.
Serve with any snacks with ice and sliced fruits.
