Hello beautiful women of steem
I would like to show you how to make a refreshing and healthy hibiscus flower juice locally known as"sobolo". This will cheer the whole house on a hot boring weekend. Give it a try.
The ingredients needed for this drink are;
Hibiscus flower : Mostly they are dried reddish flowers. It helps in lowering blood pressure, stimulates the growth of cancer cells and helps alot in weight loss. Hibiscus is very good for our health and tastes great as well
Aridan fruit known locally as "Prekese"
It's from a flowering plant. It is very nutritious because it contains a lot of nutrients. It is recommended for the treatment of many diseases. Some are fever, diabetes, it has wound healing properties and boost the immune system . Indeed this is one of the best ingredients to add to my drink.
Ginger. Ginger is used in the preparation of both food and drinks because of it's flavour and taste. One of the common use of ginger that we all know is its used for the treatment of cold and flu. But in addition it helps in digestion and improves weight loss last but not least it lowers the risk of cancer. I can't afford to miss ginger in this drink.
Cloves. They are brownish sticklike ingredients with very great flavour. It is used in most homemade natural drinks. Cloves can help regulate blood sugar, kill bacteria and improve liver health. It's flavour is on a different level because it is so strong and nice
Honey: honey is a sweetener and a medicine at the same time. It helps in treatment of stomach pains, it freshens the skin and leaves it healthy. Honey is good for the body.
Alright now that we know the ingredients needed and their benefits let's move on to prepare the drink
Firstly put some water in a pot put it on fire and add the hibiscus flower and prekese. And allow it to boil for 10-15 minutes.
Wash the ginger and cloves then blend and sieve it
When the hibiscus and prekese us well boiled take it off the fire and sieve it too
Add the ginger and cloves to the sieved hibiscus water
Add some honey
Put in the fridge or add ice cubes. Now it's ready to be served.
Woow, it's so magical. One cup down already. I learnt to make this drink from my sister. She does it even better.
I'll like to invite at @sallyglam and @kharrysally to take part in this contest.
