This deep ruby drink has refreshed travellers along the Nile for millennia. Dried hibiscus flowers, steeped until they release their rich crimson colour and tart, floral flavour, then sweetened and served cold.
In Sudan, karkadey is more than a beverage. It is offered to guests as a sign of welcome, sipped in the heat of the afternoon, shared at celebrations and quiet moments alike. The taste is bright and slightly tangy, cooling from the first sip to the last. One glass and you will understand why this ancient drink has never fallen from favour.
