I remember posting zobo drink picture over eight weeks ago on my instagram page with the caption "Zobo drink recipe up on the blog later today". I wanted to re share recipe yesterday and I couldn't find it only to realise I never did publish it eight weeks ago! It's been sitting in my drafts all the time! I need me a PA now for real. Too many things to do and so little time...Anyway, today is a good time to publish the recipe as it's so hot in London right now and I must have had more than a litre of this awesome drink today 🙂
