Adoyo (Nigerian Ogi Beverage)

Ingredients

• Ogi water
• Ripe pineapple, sliced
• Fresh or dried lemongrass leaves, rinsed
• Lemons or oranges
• White sugar

Steps

1. 1

   Combine ogi water, pineapple, and lemongrass leaves in a pot. Simmer for at least 45 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove from the heat, and cool completely. Once cool, strain out the solids.

3. 3

   Place the sugar in a pot. Slowly melt it over medium heat, stirring, and cook until it reaches a light brown caramel.

4. 4

   Stir some hot water into the caramel to make a sauce—if you use cold water, it will crystallize. Set aside.

5. 5

   Sweeten the strained liquid with the caramel sauce, and serve.
