I didn't had to think much on a favourite drink of mine as I've never being the kind to reject zobo drink offers no matter how filled I may be from drinks. I have a sweet tooth and so I take a lot of drinks, different kinds but if I have to live with just one kind of drink for the rest of my life, it's definitely going to be Hibiscus Tea (Natively called zobo drink).

It was only recently I found out it's English name to be hibiscus tea, it is a very popular drink in my country as Zobo drink so I'll refer to it as zobo drink more on this post.
If there's one thing I'm grateful for about this drink is it's health benefits and unique taste, I think zobo drink is the first I enjoy to drink that is both medicinal and delicious. I wouldn't want to go in too much detail about it's benefits as you could find them on Google quote easily.
My focus is on the aspect that this drink is very easy to prepare at home, and it can be served with just anything for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is a drink that people also like to use for parties like housewarming, birthdays and even some marriages serve zobo drinks.
One shocking truth about my love for this drink is, I've never made my own zobo drink before. That, I want to change. The thing with this drink is that, it is best served chilled and so I have a little challenge preparing it at home. But with it's recipe and procedure all over the internet and very easy to follow, I'll make mine soon.

I went for a youth hangout about two years ago and we were served chilled zobo drink, I took that shot out of excitement. There is always a happy feeling I get when I have my favourite drink and sometimes I wouldn't even mind taking it in it's warm state.
I lived close to a neighbour who makes them for sales, I can't even start calculating how much I spent on zobo drink until I left there. It is a drink that can be addictive but the good thing is, it is beneficial to our health although I read somewhere that people with low and high blood pressure should be more careful with the quantity they take.
The ingredients of zobo drink are what makes it different from the hibiscus tea other countries make, and are what makes it taste different and spicy. The zobo drink taste is all thanks to the addition of pineapple and ginger for an extra Zing. Many would enjoy it chilled, garnished with fruits.
I'll leave this detailed video on how to prepare zobo drink here, it's one of the videos I plan to use when I decide to prepare my own zobo drink at home. The lady made sure to put in full consideration more healthy benefits while preparing it and I think it's a perfect guide to prepare yours if you want to.
So that's it for my favourite drink, Hibiscus Tea (Natively called Zobo drink) and this is my entry to the Inleo March daily prompt and you are invited to participate in any of the daily prompts, they are fun to write on.
