Now, I use whatever I have in my pantry. Some times like in this recipe, I throw in a red- coloured powder drink concentrate. This helps to enhance the red colour that oozes out of the leaves. Enough with my 'folereology'. Let's make some... but before then I want you to know that this drink is sometimes colloquially called, "Jesus juice" or "baron de Jesus". Don't ask me why.
FOLERE DRINK RECIPE
Prep: 10 mins
Inactive time: 6 hours
Yield: 1 large jar
Ingredients
2 cups of Folere
The peel of one pineapple (optional)
1 sachet of drink concentrate (e.g Kool Aid) and/or sugar to taste
1 teaspoon of flavour of choice (optional)
Directions
Put the folere and pineapple peel into a pot and pour in about 6 cups of water.
Use a spoon to push the petals in so they soak well in the water. Bring that to a boil.
After it boils, turn off the fire and let it sit in the pot covered for a good six hours. You could even leave that overnight then you strain it using a colander. Ermmm... the picture showing the strained juice in a jar has vanished. The devil is a laya!
After straining it, sweeten/flavour as desired and chill or pour over ice.
Folere is ready!
"For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus."

Hello dear precious that was good ,I just want to add some more spices to the folere . You can add stick March spices(quail de geraff in French ) about 5 depending on you , you could also add fever grass and it will taste heaven . I don't stay without it in my fridge .adding those makes it a take away drink.
Precious says
Thanks for the suggestions, Nicoline! I never thought of fever grass. Those two flavours will be heavenly!

Hey this was more than helpful for my pasty shop and it became a success and I am only 12years
Rose says
Why does it have to stay for five hours?
Precious says
Hi Rose, when it stays the folere can reduce more of its flavor into the water. Hope this helps.
