What is your favourite drink in summer and why do you like it?

My favourite drink in summer is "Hibiscus tea or Roselle tea" Popularly known as zobo drink in Nigeria. I love taking this drink in summer because it helps keep me refreshing and hydrated especially when it is slightly cold. I also like taking this drink because of its health benefits to the human system.

Do you prepare it at home or buy it from somewhere? Share how it's made if homemade?.

I prepare the Hibiscus tea (zobo drink) at home.
Ingredientsfor preparing the drink are;

• hibiscus petals (zobo)
• Ginger
• Cloves
• Pineapple fruit or flavour
• sugar
• water

Process
The dried hibiscus petals are first cleaned and then poured into a pot which is the major ingredient. A small quantity of fresh pineapple, ginger, cloves and water are added. This mixture is allowed to be cooked on fire until the juice in the ingredients comes out. Once done, the solution is allowed to get cold and then sieved so that the chaff is removed and thrown away. A small quantity of sugar can be added to the drink but the natural test of the hibiscus and other ingredient is good to be taken without the sugar.
