How to Make Zobo Drink
Ingredients
- Zobo leaves2 cups
- Pineapple1
- Ginger
- Cinnamon stick1
- Clove1 tbsp
- Sugar½
Instructions
- Peel the cleaned pineapple, saving the peels for the zobo mix.
- Peel and thinly slice the ginger.
- In a large pot, add the cleaned zobo leaves, about 12 cups of water, the pineapple peel, sliced ginger, cinnamon stick and cloves. Bring to a boil.
- After 20 minutes, reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
- While it simmers, chop the pineapple and juice it, or use a blender to extract the juice.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Strain into a large pitcher through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, and discard the solids.
- Add the pineapple juice and 1/2 cup of sugar, then taste. Adjust in small amounts for sweetness. Honey, date syrup or a zero-calorie sweetener can be used instead.
- Stir in the sweetener while the zobo is still warm so it dissolves completely.
