Mazoe is the staple drink here. If you are invited for tea (served in the morning at 10am) or for a drink at someone’s house, you are sure to have Mazoe as one of the options. It’s a concentrated orange drink that you add water to in various ratios depending on the strength you prefer and how many people you are trying to serve. I have been drinking it with iced tea and given it the name Charundura Tea (1/3 tea, 1/3 water, and 1/3 Mazoe). Mazoe tastes like it has orange juice in it, but its also got a Tang-like taste, especially if you drink it strong. Mrs. S likes a Mazoe Shandy which is Mazoe, water, gingerale and bitters. I hear it can be mixed with gin or vodka too.
