Recipe: Cold drink with hibiscus and pineapple

A very interesting "soft drink" from Sudan, flavored with hibiscus, pineapple and ginger. Served plain or with ice. It also goes well with rum, vodka or gin.

Ingredients

• 1/2 pineapple
• 1 liter of hibiscus extract (1 liter of water & 15 teaspoons of sweet hibiscus "tea" - found in spices)
• 100 g sugar
• 1 small piece of ginger

Procedure

1. To make the extract, leave the hibiscus tea, ie the dried leaves of the plant in 1 liter of cold water for 2-3 hours and strain it (or leave it in boiling water for 7-10 minutes, strain it and leave it to cool).
2. In a blender, beat half a diced pineapple with the hibiscus extract, ginger and sugar. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer and serve in glasses.
