Half a mile north, at Ginjan Café (333 Nostrand Ave.; $10-$20), a new Bed-Stuy outpost of a Harlem spot opened by two Guinean brothers, you can further explore West African beverages, plus an astonishing array of homey, delicious food, made off-site and warmed up to order, including a lamb jollof rice, topped with lollipop chops and a green-olive sauce. Drinks include ginjan, a traditional cold-pressed ginger juice, punched up with pineapple, lemon, vanilla, and anise, and a cold-brewed bissap—hibiscus tea, heady with nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, and brightened by fresh mint.
