Hello my good people of amazing drink community, am a first timer here with this post. Not because this is the first drink i have made but i just got to know about this community. This drink is familiar amongst people who live in Nigeria, the Western part of Africa, it's more affordable if compared to other drinks and it's being referred to as Nigerian wine.
Zobo, a nutritious drink that can be prepared by anyone without stress making use of his or her own recipe by i mean the procedure can be twisted base on choice.
INGREDIENTS
1 clove of garlic
1 medium ginger
2 cups of dried Zobo leaf
1 medium size pineapple
1 sachet of sweetener
The above are my choice of ingredients to prepare this Nigerian wine, some can choose to add or remove from my own ingredients. Our choice differ, that's why i didn't add beetroot and more to it. No matter how you prepare it, you're definitely going to achieve something amazing for yourself, family or friends. A drink that's free from carbonate.
Step 1
Washing the leaves thoroughly was my first thing i did. Peeled my pineapple, ginger and garlic after i must have washed them and then poured all of them into the pot add my water and set on fire, i allowed it boil for 30 to get my desired taste and colour. I allow the water less by boiling if it's too much but if it's less than what i want i add more water.
Step 2
Haven gotten my required consistency i brought it down and allow it cool off for 20 minutes and sieve if for like out the drink from the pot.
Step 3*
Here's the final step where i added my sweetener and poured it in my separate containers.
The drink can be taken at this point, it can still taken refrigerated for people who do not like room temperature drinks. I can still go with different combos either with snacks or good food. This drink is worth all the hype being given to it.
I enjoyed mine at the room temperature, with a preferred meal and i didn't think i wasted on the process of making this healthy drink.
