i'd never heard of it...I looked it up... when I go to new york in a month maybe I'll get some and try it. where do you buy it? .
What part of ny are you visiting? Maybe i can point directly to a particular spot. Otherwise, you can find it in most BLACK muslim stores (n.o.i.), which are distinguished by their red sign, or flag in the window with the star and crescent.
If in the bx or harlem, you can get it right on the streets from one of the afrkan street vendors. In harlem, 125th between park and 5th. In the bx, you can stop by fordham road and pick some up while doing some shopping. I don't know if you have an accent, but if you do don't let them charge more than 3$ per bottle. Some vendors will give it to you 2 for $5.
