the most popular drinks in Africa
If you have ever visited Africa, you have probably tried some of the most popular drinks in Africa. They are delicious, refreshing and flavorful. Here are some of the most popular drinks in Africa:
Moroccan mint tea is one of the most popular Moroccan teas around the world. It has a sweet scent of mint leaves and a refreshing taste that makes it enjoyable hot or cold.
The perfect drink for a hot summer afternoon or evening! You can use any type of teabags or loose tea, but I prefer the flavour of Moroccan mint tea from Morocco.
Kilimanjaro:
This is a drink that is made from coffee beans and milk. It is very popular in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda especially among children who love chocolate flavoured milk shakes.
Dawa a Kenyan cocktail:
Dawa is another Kenyan cocktail that has become very popular over time due to its unique taste and flavor which makes it stand out among other drinks in the market today.
Rooibos Tea from the Cederberg in South Africa
Rooibos is a South African plant that has been used for centuries as a traditional medicine to treat ailments such as diarrhea and stomach pains. It contains antioxidants, calcium, iron and zinc and has anti-inflammatory properties. It is also known to have weight loss properties due to its low glycemic index rating of 45. The leaves are used to make Rooibos tea which is naturally caffeine free. The tea can be served hot or cold and tastes like black tea but with a slightly fruity flavour.
Cafe Touba Senegal
This is a lovely coffee, with a caramel taste and not too bitter. It's a great everyday coffee that you can drink all day long, as it won't keep you awake at night.
Oshikundu NAMIBIA with fermented milk
This traditional NAMIBIAN drink is made from fermented milk mixed with peanuts or cornmeal which gives it a thick consistency. Dawa a Kenyan cocktail
Dawa is made from ginger beer mixed with orange juice and lime juice, topped off with club soda. The combination is delicious, but very spicy so make sure you mix it well before drinking!
Sobia Egyptian Drink
Sobia is an Egyptian drink made from fermented milk and spices such as cardamom or cinnamon. You can buy Sobia at street vendors in Cairo or make it yourself by mixing 1 part yogurt with 2 parts water then adding a pinch of salt and allowing it to sit for 24 hours before drinking (just make sure it's not too sour).
