Making Wonjo and Baobab

So in todays video me and Martina is making some Gambian drinks. Or mostly Martina. Here you will find the recipes for the drinks as well.




Wonjo:
1/2 dl wonjo (can be bought in West African stores)
1 liter of water
About 2 tablespoons of sugar (depends on how sweet you want it)
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Place the wonjon in a bowl. Pour over boiling water and let cool or pour over cold water and refrigerate overnight. Strain out the wonjon with a fine-mesh kitchen sieve or cloth. Season with sugar and vanilla essence.

Baobab:
2 tablespoons baobab powder (available in well-stocked stores)
5 dl of water
5 dl milk

Stir in baobab in water. Let stand for a while, preferably overnight in the refrigerator. Strain if necessary. It depends on how fine-grained the baobab powder is. Pour in milk and stir. It is possible to make the drink only with water. You can also make it more like a milkshake and flavor it with e.g. banana or coconut.
