Zoborodo (also known as Zobo) is a traditional Northern Nigerian drink made from what are called loacally dried zobo leaves. In fact, these are the dried red flowers of hibiscus flowers (roselle, sorrel, bissap). This is the Nigerian cognate of Senegalese bissap and Caribbean sorrel drink.
Bring about 2l of water to a boil. Wash the hibiscus flowers, put in a bowl and cover with the water. Pour into a pan, add the ginger, alligator pepper, lime juice, citrus zest and pineapple peelings.
Cover and boil for about 15 minutes then strain through a fine-meshed sieve and pour into a bowl. Stir in sugar or honey to taste then allow to cool to room temperature.
Chill the zobo thoroughly in a refrigerator before serving.
