So, a beverage I find refreshing when the weather is hot is cold #HibiscusTea. It was originally used in Africa, and its use spread around the world. Not sure about using garlic, but a ginger-spice-fruit version of #Zobo sounds refreshing!

Wikipedia: "Zobo is a local beverage drink in Nigeria. It is made from dried hibiscus leaf and other ingredients. The drink is commonly sold in restaurants and on roadsides."

Overview

"Hibiscus drink is made by boiling the hibiscus leaf alongside ginger, garlic for less than an hour. It is served hot or chilled depending on the weathered condition of the area it was produced. Other ingredients used in making zobo drink include nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, lime, pineapple and artificial colours. The particles are sieved leaving behind the zobo juice. The roselle drink has flavour similar to cranberry juice and it is ruby red in colour."
