So let’s talk about the ingredients before we proceed to the preparation of this Zobo drink.
Ingredients of Zobo drink:
- 5 to 6 cups of dried zobo leaves.
- 2 to 3 fingers of Ginger.
- 2 satchets of Joccy’s pineapple flavor or few cubes of sugar.
- 4 litres of water.
Avoid bottling your zobo in popular bottling cans such as coca cola, sprit, fanta bottles etc, you should be uniquely different from others so that anybody sighting the drink without coming closer will instantly identify your product without even tasting it. Mix several flavors until you get your desired taste and the tastes must be unique, you can even hire a graphics designer to design and print labels so you can paste them on your bottles. Use a well appealing name that can be easily pronounced and spelled out.
- Pick out every unwanted substance from the zobo leaves, wash and start cooking with about 3 litres of water.
- Don’t soak before washing, just pour water on it and wash then transfer the washed zobo leaves in to cooking pot.
- Cook to boil very well before you add the ginger, you can even pound them to a grind with a kitchen blender the same way I did mine and cook for another ten to fifteen minutes before you taste the zobo, it may taste sour.
- Allow to cool a little, sieve and add the joccy’s pineapple flavor that already contained sugar and if you wish to add few cubes of sugar, you can add few sugar and refrigerate.
