Zobo drink also known as Zoborodo or
Hibiscus drink is a popular nutritious healthy drink to make at home. It's
an Ox-blood or red wine colored drink made from dry petals of the
roselle plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa) which is a hibiscus specie. It goes by
different names such as Rosella in Australia, Jamaican sorrel drink in the
Caribbean, Sobolo in Ghana, depending on the region it's prepared. It's a rich
and natural health drink filled with enormous benefits.
I love preparing my zobo drink with
more of natural fruits including the peels of the particular fruit i use for
the flavor I want but you may add artificial flavors and sweeteners such as
Foster clarks, Nutri C, jolly juice e.t.c if you don't have the natural
substitute. The Concentration of the juice also depends on choice as some like
theirs concentrated while others like their’s less concentrated like me. Also,
the more concentrated the drink is, the more likely it is to sour and ferment
quickly. Traditionally, Zobo drink has been used for years and therefore seen
as a herbal health drink which has been known to help several health issues
including high blood pressure, loss of appetite, circulation, liver diseases,
cancers, fevers, and as a gentle laxative and diuretic. Modern research also
supports the fact that hibiscus has multiple health effects. This definitely
makes it one of the top 10 healthy drinks to make at home.

Ingredients::::
• 150g Zobo leaves
• 7 Liters water
• 30g Dry ginger or Fresh ginger
• 3 tbsps. Cloves a.k.a Konofiri
• 1 Large Pineapple
• Artificial flavors and sweeteners such as (foster
Clark’s Pineapple flavor, jolly juice e.t.c) -Optional.
• Sugar Cane or Honey - Optional
(You can substitute with Sugar)
Directions:::
Step 1: Before peeling the pineapple, wash the skin thoroughly and
rinse with clean water. You can use both the inner part and the outer skin to
get added flavor. (P.S: Use the skin only if you are sure of
how it was stored or if it's been thoroughly washed.) Peel and Dice the fruit -
Set aside
Step 2: Wash the dry leaves of the hibiscus severally with cold water. This is because the leaves are often times dirty due to the way they are stored. Once you're done washing, place the washed leaves in a large pot and add the water and turn on your burner.
Step 3: Add the chunks of pineapple,
ginger and Cloves (Konofiri). The taste of the zobo really intensifies when
it's boiled with the ingredients unlike when it’s left to steep. Leave to boil
for about 25mins.
Step 4: Sieve out the extract into a bowl and leave the drink
to cool. The boiled leaves in the pot can still be reused till the red color of
the zobo totally reduces. You'd know when the red color becomes less
intense.
Step 5: This is supposed to be a health drink so i ensure i use only natural sweeteners and flavors like honey, sugar cane juice, pineapple juice etc. Alternatively if you don't have the natural juices, you can substitute with Artificial flavors and sweeteners such as Foster clarks flavor, Nutri C, jolly juice e.t.c.

Look for the triggers that cause you to feel frustration. Common ones include:
Think through your answers. Do any of the above
situations apply to you? If so, note down why. Draw another column and
suggest ways that you might address each frustration in a fruitful
manner instead. For example: 
Breathe deeply and count when you feel a bout of frustration coming on.
This is a good opportunity to create your reaction rather than to react
and create your frustration. One deep breath, followed by a slow count
to ten, during which time you let your thoughts go. Return to reality
and consider the situation before you carefully and with a reality
check. Ask yourself:
Remember that frustration is born of wanting things or people to be a certain way that is fixed in your head.
Your expectations of others and of how the world works is formed over
many years of experiences and sometimes your personal overlay is
defective; it might have been a source of self-protection once but when
it continues to advise you poorly for future experiences, then it is
stuck in time, and generally plain wrong. When you cease to expect other
people to act in a certain way, when you start to look at the world
with fresh eyes again and expect nothing apart from the fact that you
are a member of a community of individuals and a world of many
happenings, then you start to realize that things happen, people are the
way that they are, and most importantly of all, how you react matters. For example:
Practice talking back to yourself every time that frustration arises.
It takes a long time to overcome what has become essentially a very
comforting but demoralizing habit. While it might feel justified to feel
a sense of outrage, persecution, and insult, where do those types of
self-pitying feelings ultimately lead you? They lead to personal
stagnation and a
