Hibiscus tea (Sobolo drink)

It is made out of rosella leaves, and is called different names in different countries where the drink can be found, but it is generally referred to as Bissap.

Sobolo, often taken when refrigerated, is a cool drink found in many West African countries. It is a dark red-purple coloured juice.

The Burkinabes call it bissap while the Ghanaians, Nigeriens, Burkinabe and Nigerians call it sobolo. It tastes a bit grapey and a little bit like cranberry juice and can be served with mint leaves. It can also be served with any flavouring of one's choice - sometimes with pineapple juice, tea grass, vanilla and many others.
