    Preserving the Zobo drink requires it to be boiled beforehand. To pasteurize the beverage, you need to keep it in sterile water heated for up to 100 degrees Celsius for a couple of minutes. The heating effect will increase the shelf life by a significant amount.

    Yes, it's a very important step to do for preparation of the zobo drink. Cook on medium heat and leave to boil for a few minutes. Add the ginger and the garlic, add more water and keep boiling for at least 30 minutes. This is the time it will take for the zobo leaves to become completely soft. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool down completely.
