Easy to Make: Sobolo- Hibiscus & LemonGrass Iced Tea Recipe

The Sobolo drink also called Bissap or Roselle is a species of Hibiscus native to West Africa.  It is gradually taking over the local beverage industry in Ghana. Despite being around for centuries, this local drink for the past three years has gotten quite a bit of attention. Today, small-scale home-based businesses are tapping into this drink by bottling and selling it in all kinds of flavours.  Think of ginger, lemon, coconut water, pineapple etc.

1. My thoughts on African women going back to their natural hair roots

 I'm excited to see more women on the continent ( and Ghana specifically) embracing their natural hair. It's been a drastic change from even 5 years ago.

A Little Taste of Pure Nebraska Beef.

Le Steak est ici! Finally the grand steak in its best medium-rare brownish attire turned up at the right time when my stomach gave a mini-growl. Grrrr… The type you hope no-one hears.  A scallion was placed casually across its width.  The steak look just like any other steak I had come across. But what would the taste be like? It was served with a side of cassava fries and chimicurri.

Which natural hair product is your favourite?

My favourite brand is Giovanni ! It’s a US natural hair products brand, which produce fantastic organic products. I have been using it for years! They have shampoos, conditioners and leave-ins. I mostly use the 50-50 conditioner and the direct leave-in conditioner which is part of my natural hair regime. I am very happy with their products.

How You Can Take Part In The Climbing of Mountain Afadjato Coming Soon in A Few Weeks!

Ghana has some hidden treasures which aren’t being promoted enough. The country is filled with waterfalls hiding beneath clusters of jungle vegetation, mountains begging to be climbed and canyons with gaping mouths yelling for discovery. 

Thankfully, there are quite a number of tour operators looking to change this and put Ghana on the tourism map of ‘Places to Explore in Africa’. One such operator is See Afrique which is about to launch another tour operation with #ClimbAfadzato2015 .

Easy To Make: The Perfect Homemade Coconut Muffins.

I am a disappointed cupcake maker. I ‘blasted’ in an attempt to make my first cupcake. Very serious blasting which could be heard from one end of my neighborhood to the Oxford Street. I later got told of my grievous errors by my Aunt and had she not encouraged me to not give up on trying again; I would have thrown in the apron. Never say never! 

So I made muffins to get over my despondency the following morning. My favourite muffins of all time are Banana muffins. The moist & sweet taste of banana caught up in the muffin mix is just one of those experiences which gives an eater the best foodgasmic sensation.
