HERBAL FRUIT DRINK

Wednesday is Herbal Drinks Day in my school.  The Resource Centre Committee will set up stall at the Reading Hut to sell herbal drinks like Roselle, Kiwi Juice, Honey Longan, Loh Hon Kuo and Chrysanthemum drink.  This activity is to help promote the benefits of herbs and also to add to the library funds. 
One of the drinks sold today is the Herba Fruit Drink which is very popular among the students.  The above picture shows three of my boys with this drink.  All our herbal drinks are sold at RM1.00 each.

Here is the recipe for this drink:
