Bissap, bouye, ginger: the drinks

Fresh home-made juices everywhere.

Bissap is an infusion of hibiscus flowers, served cold. Bouye is made with the pulp of the baobab fruit (monkey bread). Ginger juice is properly spicy. Ataya, a very sweet green tea served in three rounds, goes with long conversations.
