Zobo drink is very nutritious and medicinal. To make zobo for weight loss, you have to avoid using sweeteners.

OK na…pepper soup spice and pepper? I will try this some day. Nice one…
Aunt debbie,Tanx for sharing but hope its not too hot as per ginger+pepper+pepper soup spice..
Pepper soup spice inside Zobo? I've lived in the North since I was born and this is my first time of hearing it!
Zobo cures High BP, it's good for bringing down cholestorol level and insomnia as well. It has similar medicinal properties as moringa.
I prefer mine really simple with d pineapples and all. I don't add garlic and even ginger is very little. Then vanilla flavour gives it a little scent.
Bookmarked. Michgirl

Thanks, its just one piece of pepper and little pepper soup spice! So it doesn't even come out as pepperish! Just the flavour, this is how I have seen my granny make it! And its really nice.
I heard and read that zobo isn't good for pregnant women so I stopd takin it when I got pregnant. I started taking homemade Kunu instead bin made by my in-law. She has gone bk to d north&d 1 she made 4 me is finished.Pls,does any1 here know how its done? If u do pls kindly share in details&pictorials too. Tnk u
Nice,i love zobo but i heard it isnt gud 4 pregnancy. I googled it and some sites confirmed it.ps how true is this?
Well done Debbie and thank you for this. I should find time to make this soon.
Where can I find Zobo leaves? The main ingridient is what I have no idea of where to get it.
For those that do not like pepper, pepper soup spice or any other things added to this drink plz take out whatever you do not like when making yours.
Can also use lemon grass and fresh mint,delish!
Thanks Debbie…#smiles.
Will try dis Zobo style.
Oh my Jay u won't bliv it! I just finished making cous cous Irained in kd and I slept so the fastest food to make was couscous! About sending to Anty now! Thanks for d confidence
Princess am just hearing this ooo! It maybe true, but I try not to dwell on that! For the kunu we have diff types! I can make it but find it a bit stressful the sieving part! Not promising but will try to make it before the month runs out!
at princess wel don't knw whr u get it bt zobo drink washes ol d dirt on a baby esp at ur last trimester. Takin it witout sugar for preg. woman is d best.
Thanks for the comments sorry I can't reply individually.t
What's your location? If it is in abuja just ask the market seller, in lagos go to iddo or agege if its in another part of the country I can buy and send it via bus.
Lizzy lives in the UK am sure of that. Anyway I hope new baby will give her time to come reply herself but am very sure she is not in Nigeria.
Great job Deborah. I will try mine tmw.
Not true jor. Just make sure there is food in your stomach before taking zobo. Don't drink on an empty stomach o.
Hmmmm. Madam Tope. Oga Tope has been with us tay tay where were you now? Welcome o.
Thanks Deborah. Ill try making without the water melon, hope it will still taste good?
Zobo leaf sellers have some kind sachet sweeteners with all fruit flavours that they sell too. Is it ok to add those sachet flavours too?
Hope its not saccharine(hope I got the spelling right) they are selling, saccharine isn't good at all. Pls just use natural fruits pineapple, watermelon.
Then you should add honey! Since u won't add the fruits to sweeten it.
Pls debbie, at what point do I add the blended pineapple? B4 or after filtering? Thank you
Pls debbie, at what point do I add the blended pineapple? B4 or after filtering? Thank you
This zobo looks correct! Abeg, chop knuckle Debbs. I took zobo thru out my pregnancy and I had no issues. As a kpako babe, I just cannot do without my zobo. Never heard anything bad about it as far as pregnancy is concerned!
Zobo is so nutritious I love it but ve never had time to make it, d red compoud (anthocyanin) which constitutes d colour is very medicinal, its same compound in red apples and red wine just d alc. Its gud for d heart, reduces cholesterol, diabetis,gallstone, constipation and detoxification of ur body sys exp liver.. Debby thank u for the receipe.
Before filtering, add it and close the pot for more than 15mins so the juice comes out.
Debby, you have done well I must say. I will make zobo drink soon with your recipe except for the Peper soup spices.
@pink berry thanks for the medical view of anthocyanin
Well done Debbie.
I once read that the flowers for making zobo are actually hibiscus flowers. So if you've got hibiscus plant around you, zobo is it for you!
You are very right Zobo is Hibiscus. Deborah please be giving English names for your non Nigerian readers to relate to wherever possible. Thanks hun
Zobo in English is Hibiscus any health food store should have the dried leaves int eh UK check Tescos as well they usually have a variety of stuff
Yes Jazmyn I live in d Uk.
