Heat Hack: 3 Zobo Recipes You Must Try

If you haven't had chilled Zobo (hibiscus leaves) out of an oblong transparent polythene bag on a torridly hot day, life is trying to rob you of an amazing experience!  My childhood was sufficiently Zobo-ed but my adulthood, not so much. My last drink must have been when I was 12.
Therefore, the plan this summer is to make my own amazing Zobo coolers, so I can manage the amount of sugar I put in and play around with all those great flavors. It's going to be epic! *Chin Palm* Where am i going to find fresh Zobo leaves out here?? Where there is a will, there sure is a way!

Here are 3 recipes from Funke Koleosho, 9jafoodie and Fabila's fitness blogs! I'm so excited to share. Hit the links below and hack that crazy heat! #HowZoboTookOver #HackthatNigerianHeat #Summer
