The water should however, be changed after every seven hours.<\/li>\n<li>Wash the millet seed properly with clean water then add Ginger, Cloves and Sweet potato.<\/li>\n<li>Blend all the Ingredients together until you have a smooth paste while adding water for fine consistency. A blender with sharp blades or grinding mill is recommended.<\/li>\n<li>Sieve the entire content and allow it to settle for about 7 hours, after which you should have a clear fluid above and the thick sediment at the bottom.<\/li>\n<li>Pour off the liquid leaving only the thick sediment.<\/li>\n<li>Split the thick paste into two separate bowls, add hot boiled water into one part and stir (mix for consistency before adding hot boiled water).<\/li>\n<li>Mix the two separated content back together again and stir. Add water until you have achieved the thickness of choice.<\/li>\n<li>Sieve the entire content again to remove the chaff.<\/li>\n<li>Sweeten to taste with sugar, refrigerate and serve chilled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kunu (or Kunnu) which is a popular drink especially among the Northerners, also called \u201cKununZaki\u201d, is an indigenous Nigerian drink &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"How to Prepare\/ Make Kunu Drink in Nigeria\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/how-to-prepare-make-kunu-kunnu-drink-in-nigeria\/#more-24059\" aria-label=\"More on How to Prepare\/ Make Kunu Drink in Nigeria\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[41,2074],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6w1sx-6g3","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24059"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24059"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24059\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24061,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24059\/revisions\/24061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerianfinder.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
