Gnamankoudji's recipe differs from household to household, and can be mixed with other ingredients for a sweeter or more acidic profile. Primarily comprised of ginger and water, with some adding lime, while others prefer mint, vanilla sugar, pineapple juice or hibiscus. Our tangy Brewing Black interpretation features Yerba Mate for the caffeine-forward energy that's sure to start your day with a kick. Serve with a sweetener of your choice, very cold over ice. Historical and Cultural Contexts Gnamakoudji means "spicy water" in Bambara/Doula, and is a beverage popular in Côte d'Ivoire and across West Africa. Ivorians pride themselves on their hospitality, so visitors may be treated to the beverage by their hosts; it is also sold by street vendors in the cities of Côte d'Ivoire and can be served at important events like weddings. Similar ginger drinks are called emduro in Ghana - which is made with black peppercorns - and tangawizi in Kenya, where it's preferred warm, paired with milk and black tea.
