Mmmm… frothy and tasty.
With its smooth, strong full-bodied taste this drink is popular in Ghana and also with West African ex-pats in London. Its origins are North African. The rum is a local addition! It makes a great nightcap - a nice way of winding down after a hard day's work or a special meal.

4
Extra sugar can be added to taste.

Enjoy!

Rich, creamy, and frothy! This really makes the lovely chocolate flavor the star of the show. We very much enjoyed this, and no additional dessert was needed! Thanks for sharing.
