HOW TO PRESERVE THE REST OF THE SOAKED WAAKYE LEAVES
Just like me, I know most of you don't eat waakye everyday so you will be left with the soaked waakye leaves and the rest of the liquid.
If you sell waakye or eat waakye everyday, then refill with water and add kanwe or bio-carbonate of soda and continue using until the leaves losses it potent and the water becomes light in colour, then you can discard it.
If you eat waakye once in a while, then you can seperate the leaves from the water and freeze them seperately. At anytime if you want to make waakye again and you don't have the water anymore, just soak the leaves again with kanwe or bio-carbonate of soda. This is a good way to save your waakye leaves especially if you live in the diaspora and the leaves is very difficult to come by. I hope this helps and if you liked the recipe don't forget to hit on the like button if you have not done so already and share the recipe with your family and friends.
