This is a tea made from the flowers of the Bissap plant Hibiscus sabdariffa which has been described as the 'national drink of Senegal'. The flowers are available in every market and the tea itself is sold on every street corner. Ingredients:
2–3 cups of bissap flowers Preparation
Jus de Bissap Preparation:Method:Rinse the flowers under cold water then set aside. Meanwhile add 2l cold water to a saucepan and bring to the boil. As soon as the water's boiling add the flowers. Immediately remove from the heat and allow to seep for ten to fifteen minutes. After this time pour the tea through a strainer into a pitcher (make sure you don't pour any of the flower sediment in). Stir in the sugar and lemon juice. Add the sprig of mint then transfer to the fridge to allow the drink to chill completely. This tart drink makes an excellent accompaniment to any West African dish. |
