You’ll never hear the last of it – how taken I was, still am with East Africa. All of it. At least all the parts I’ve visited – Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam and Nairobi. Where I had some of the most amazing drinks in my life
Freshly juiced passion fruit, Zanzibar
Like freshly juiced passion fruit. Bright orange, sweet and readily available. Did I mention reasonably priced? For a couple of US dollars or less!
Freshly squeezed sugarcane, Nairobi
Like freshly squeezed sugar cane juice of which I’ve been a fan since forever.
Chai, Tea Masala, Zanzibar
Love, love, love the warm, smokey spices which sent waves of warmth through my body.
Sweet Tamarind, Zanzibar
And a delicious sweet tamarind drink
Coconut Water, Zanzibar
Enjoyed on a spice tour – sweet and refreshing!
Dawa, in Nairobi
Dawa – means Medicene in SSwahili and is composed of Vodka, lime, honey, sugar, and ice.
Coffee, Nairobi
I mean who goes to Nai without sampling coffee all sorts. Well not me!
So there, some of what I drowned my sorrows drank on holiday.
What’s your favourite ‘travel’ drink?
Hehe. You were looking for trouble with this title o. You know our Eastern brethren and sisthren can hold a ‘drink’ down! I had the best tea (hands-down) in Kenya and bought the best raw spices (for tea and otherwise) from a spice farm in Zanzibar. Everyone swears by Carnivore Dawa but I was too busy downing the meats.
Did you have lots of tangawizi in your drinks? Eastern Africans love their ginger and Stoney Tangawizi is great!
I didn’t get to try Tangawizi – when I go back :).
I loved the Dawa and I’m not a big alcohol-drinking fan 🙂
