Base: LENA'S — Red Hibiscus
Bissap and ginger have been enjoyed for generations in West Africa, hot or iced. Here's a simple and traditional way to savor our Red Hibiscus.
Ingredients (for 1 glass):
- 20 cl of chilled LENA'S Red Hibiscus
- A few fresh mint leaves
- Lemon slices
- Ice cubes
Preparation: Fill a large glass with ice cubes. Crush the mint between your fingers to release its aromas and place it at the bottom. Pour in the Red Hibiscus, add the lemon slice. Serve immediately, well chilled.
LENA'S tip: this is how bissap is traditionally enjoyed in Dakar — iced, in a large glass, to cool down during hot weather.
