Karkanji

This refreshing drink can be made entirely from plants grown in Chad. With the heat as strong as it is here, karkanji satisfies thirst at little cost. This is also used as a product of many a home-based business, and sold at the edge of a school, business or sporting event by the glassful. Some say it is good for colds, runny noses and flu symptoms...

Ingredients:

* 1 large handful (about 1 1/2 cups) of whole hibiscus flowers (available at most health food stores in Western countries)
* 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups sugar
* 1/2 cup ginger root, or 1/4 cup bars of cinnamon mixed with 1/4 cup cloves (optional)

1. Add 1/2 to 1 gallon water to a saucepan. Drop hibiscus flowers on to the top of the water until the surface is mostly covered with flowers. Add ginger root or cinnamon and cloves, if desired.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Once you have a running boil, remove from full heat or turn stove down to a simmer, and cover for ten minutes.
4. Add the sugar according to taste, mix in, then let simmer for five more minutes.
5. Remove from heat, and let cool/simmer for at least one hour. Add ice, and serve. May also be served hot, soon after the sugar is added.

La bouillie (hot breakfast cereal)

This recipe is prepared according to the means of each household to enhance its flavour. This is how we prepare a modest bouillie for our own home.

Ingredients:

* 1 litre of water
* about 1 cup of rice or wheat
* 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter (for authenticity, this should be pure crushed peanuts, no additives, no sugar)
* 3 tablespoons of wheat, millet or corn flour
* curdled milk, or lemon juice from one lemon (optional, but a delicious addition!)
* Whole milk, no more than 1/4 litre

1. Boil one litre of water
2. Put about one cup of rice or wheat into the water
3. Mix 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter with a cup of lukewarm water, just enough to obtain a liquid solution, and pour into the water
4. Mix 3 tablespoons flour (wheat, corn or millet) with lukewarm water in order to dissolve it thoroughly also into a liquid solution, and pour the liquid into the boiling mixture
5. Add curdled milk (roaba) or if you lack some, add lemon juice until a sour taste and white brightness is obtained. Please note: You are not required to add this to the bouillie if you do not like the sour taste
6. Add sugar according to taste.
7. Add whole milk to thin it out if the consistency becomes thicker than oatmeal.
8. Wait 10-15 minutes and serve.
