Ibrī is a staple of the Ramadan table in Sudan, but can be drunk all year round. It’s not just a drink; its aroma and dark red color, acquired from spices, hibiscus and a few local herbs, which floats a month before the arrival of Ramadan in popular neighborhoods, brings back wonderful memories of Ramadan. To make ibrī juice, simply infuse an Awassa wafer in water for over three hours. The drink then takes on a dark twilight color, saturated with a slight reddish tinge, with a strong taste and an intense, long-lasting flavor.
