Sobolo (also known as hibiscus tea) is a refreshing drink native to Ghana. It can be made from either roselle leaves or flowers, a species of hibiscus that is native to West Africa. The leaves or flowers are steeped in hot water, and once the water has turned red, the water is strained, sweetened, and left to cool.
Sobolo is typically dark purple-red in color, and the flavor can be described as something between grape and cranberry juice. It has numerous health benefits - it lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels, but it also helps with weight loss.
