Foléré (Hibiscus / Bissap Juice)

Tart but non-alcoholic, with a red color close to that of wine, bissap juice is a natural tonic drink. In Cameroon and throughout sub-Saharan Africa, foléré or bissap juice is served at any time. At certain major ceremonies, it outshines many Western drinks. Ideal as an alcohol-free aperitif, it also aids digestion.
