I get this from my aunt. It was a medium size plastic bag full. We can make nice drink, the colour similar to Ribena. Yummy..

Remove the capsule from the flesh.

Put the flesh in the pot, put the equivalence of flesh: water, 1:2. turn on the heat cooked until boil, put in a simmer in medium high heat for around 30 minutes or boil until the water became half than before. Later, stain the flesh, then you can get very nice purple pink juice. (This without sugar, you can add sugar according to your preference.

Later, I will share my Roselle Lemonade Drink..

See you soon.

Wassalam and Bye-bye

Mama Long :)
