How to make ZOBO DRINK the proper way (Roselle/ Sorrel Drink)

Zobo Drink (Hibiscus Tea) . Dried Roselle or Sorrel drink.
Zobo leaves ( Hibiscus sabdariffa)
Ingredients
4 cups Zobo leaves/ sorrel leaves
2-3 litres of water
Pineapple or oranges (blend for sweetness)
6 thumbs of Ginger
2 tbsps Cloves (Konafuru)
1 Cinnamon stick/ 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
Honey (optional)When serving.
Directions
1. Wash/ Rinse Hibiscus leaves/ Zobo leaves to remove any dust/ dirt.
2. Place washed leaves into a large pot, add cloves and cinnamon stick. Pour water and place on medium heat.
3. Wash and peel ginger and pineapple.
4. Add pineapple back and core into the tea
5. Cut the flesh of the pineapple into small pieces and blend with ginger and water till smooth
6. Put mixture into tea and bring to a boil.
7. Once it has come to boil. Set a timer and cook for 5-10 minutes on low heat
8. Leave tea to sit for at least 2 hours (I leave to sit overnight for the most intense flavour).
9. Run tea through a colander and then through a fine cloth/ cheese cloth.
10. Pour Zobo drink into a jug and chill before serving.
11. Serve with ice cubes and cucumber/ Lemon and sweeten with honey as desired.
Important Notes
- Get the dark red ones as they contain the highest percentage of Vitamin C, calcium and Ash (Olayemi et al. 2011) .
- Effective for reducing risk for anxiety, hypertension and diabetes.
- Cook for only 10 minutes or less. It is medicine and should be taken moderately.
- Be careful in pregnancy/breastfeeding

I must confess you are a professional at what you do. The presentation is so explanatory, the zobo process is fantastic, and what really made me subscribed and gave you a thumb up is that, you took your time to type out the ingredients, directions to preparation and you even gave us an important note to consider when preparing this drink. Thanks a lot dearie. You are amazing

Ogbeiwi Vivian hi, honey is optional, I just put it there, we don’t really use it. It is called Konafuru at the market. People that sell Zobo leaves always have it.
