5am in my kitchen: why my hibiscus tea has one thing in it I won't tell you about

Every morning I'm up before the generator, drying hibiscus on the balcony and talking to the pot like it's my business partner. The secret ingredient came from my grandmother's last visit. She pressed a small twig into my hand and said it takes the bitterness from a hard day. I have used it in every batch since. I have never told a customer. This week's box of ten sachets is ₦4,500. Ten people have already said it fixed their Mondays.
