Zobo (Preparation)

*Zobo*

*Ingredients*
1 Derica cup of dry zobo leaves
1 glove of garlic
1 big piece of ginger
1 big very ripe pineapple
Enough water

*Preparation*
Wash the dry zobo leaves repeatedly in cold water to remove dusts
*It may seem like the colors are washing off cos of the repeated washing, don't worry, it isn't*

2) wash, peel and cut the pineapple into thin slices. *(Some peoples add the peel of the pineapple but you have to be careful with it cos there might be dusts in it)*

Peel and cut the ginger and garlic into pieces
*(Note)*: I don't usually like garlics... So at times I skip it

*Method*
Put the washed zobo leaves into a big pot

Add the pineapples and pour enough water

Start cooking and let it boil for 5 minutes

Add the ginger and the garlic

Then, add more water and keep boiling for at least 30 mins So that the zobo leaves will be completely soft and the pineapples tender

Turn off the heat and set aside to cool down completely

When cool, wringe out the juice from the pineapple and zobo leaves leaving only the zobo juice in the pot

Pour the juice through a sieve to take out the remaining large particles

Then pour through a chiffon cloth to remove the tiniest particles

Then, add any artificial flavours of your choice and stir

Pour into bottles and refridgrate
