Having a cold refreshing drink on a hot afternoon, enjoying your breakfast sandwich or pancakes with some refreshing drink or juice, watching your favourite movie with popcorn and a glass of juice.  Drinks and juices have indeed become a part of our dietary lifestyle and if they offer the best of taste and nutrition, that is indeed the best anyone could wish for.

Sobolo, bissap or Roselle drink has become very popular due to the taste, flavour and nutrition it offers. With the onset of Covid19, it became one of the drinks people were using to boost their immune system. Though it cannot cure the disease, Hibiscus sabdariffa calyces are indeed nutritious. It is loaded with antioxidants, lots of vitamin C and A and other micronutrients such as iron, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus which are very important for the body. The drink could help lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, lower blood fat levels, boost liver health, promote weight loss and could help fight some bacteria such as E. coli which causes diarrhea. So you can imagine then what kind of a super drink it will be when ginger, cloves, Negro pepper and other spices are added. It is indeed a healthy drink.

There are quite a number of sobolo, bissap or roselle drinks on the market. But one which has recently caught my eye that I will like to share with you is that of Cheers bissap. First of all the name is quite simple and catchy, cheers; “expressing good wishes before drinking”. And that is indeed what this drink brings to you when you drink it; good wishes.
