Zobo drink (see recipe) is a favorite Nigerian drink that is loved all across the country. If you are like me then you have probably been discarding your zobo leaves (hibiscus calyxes) at the end of your zobo drink preparation. PLEASE STOP eh, you are wasting something precious.
I just recently discovered the treasures that have been waiting to be unearthed in those leaves. Do you know you can make all sorts of delectable things with those leaves and add them to a whole host of other food items to enjoy your dishes in a new way.
This puree can be used to make jam, sauce-sweet, spicy, creamy etc., baked goods and desserts, and used as a marinade for meats like pork and beef.
