🥤 HOW TO PRODUCE DIFFERENT TYPES OF KUNU DRINKS FOR SALE
A Practical Guide to Starting Your Kunu Drink Business in Nigeria
You can start a profitable drink business by producing different varieties of Nigerian kunu and tiger nut drinks, packaging them attractively, and selling them to customers.
You can begin with small batches, test which flavours customers prefer, and expand as demand grows.
Let's learn how to produce 6 different types of kunu drinks for sale, including ingredients, production methods, packaging, and food safety.
1. KUNU ZAKI — MILLET DRINK
Kunu Zaki is a traditional Nigerian drink made primarily from millet. Ginger, cloves, and dates give it a delicious flavour.
Ingredients for a small batch
1 kg millet
100 g fresh ginger
10–15 g cloves
250 g dates
Safe drinking water
Production method
Sort the millet and remove stones and damaged grains.
Wash thoroughly with safe drinking water.
Soak the millet in the refrigerator for approximately 8–12 hours.
Drain and rinse the millet.
Remove the seeds from the dates.
Wash and prepare the ginger and cloves.
Blend the millet with some water until smooth.
Divide the mixture into two portions.
Cook approximately one-third of the mixture by gradually adding it to boiling water while stirring continuously.
Allow the cooked portion to cool slightly, then mix it with the remaining raw blended portion.
Stir thoroughly and strain through a clean, food-grade filter.
Adjust the consistency with safe drinking water.
Important: Mixing cooked and uncooked millet does not make the final drink microbiologically safe. For commercial production, use a validated heat-treatment process that treats the entire finished mixture, followed by hygienic cooling and packaging.
2. KUNU AYA — TIGER NUT DRINK
Kunu Aya is made from tiger nuts, also called aya. It has a naturally sweet taste and creamy texture.
Ingredients
1 kg dried tiger nuts
300 g dates
30 g fresh ginger, optional
1 medium coconut, optional
Safe drinking water
Production method
Sort the tiger nuts and remove foreign materials.
Wash them thoroughly.
Soak the tiger nuts in the refrigerator for approximately 12–24 hours.
Drain and rinse with safe drinking water.
Wash the dates and remove their seeds.
Prepare the coconut and ginger if using them.
Blend the tiger nuts in small batches with water.
Add the dates, coconut, and ginger.
Blend until the mixture is as smooth as possible.
Strain through a clean, food-grade filter bag.
Extract the remaining liquid from the pulp using clean equipment.
Combine the extracted liquid and mix thoroughly.
You now have a basic tiger nut drink.
For commercial sale: Raw tiger nut milk is not sterile. Develop and validate an appropriate heat-treatment process with a food-processing specialist before selling packaged bottles. Keep the finished product refrigerated.
3. FOUR MORE TYPES OF KUNU DRINKS TO PRODUCE
These varieties can help you attract different customers.
A. Guinea Corn Kunu
Ingredients
1 kg guinea corn
100 g ginger
10 g cloves
200 g dates
Safe drinking water
Method: Sort and wash the grains, soak them under refrigeration, blend with ginger and cloves, then process using a suitable cooking method. Strain and adjust the consistency.
Ensure the entire finished mixture receives a validated heat treatment before hygienic packaging.
B. Millet and Date Kunu
Ingredients
1 kg millet
300–400 g dates
50 g ginger
Safe drinking water
Method: Blend the prepared millet with dates and ginger. Cook the complete mixture using a suitable validated process, strain, and cool hygienically.
Dates provide sweetness, so additional sugar may not be necessary.
C. Coconut Tiger Nut Drink
Ingredients
1 kg tiger nuts
1 medium coconut
250–300 g dates
Safe drinking water
Method: Prepare the tiger nuts, blend with coconut and dates, extract the liquid, and process using a validated heat treatment suitable for the product.
Coconut adds flavour and creaminess, but it also introduces additional food-safety and shelf-life considerations.
D. Ginger Tiger Nut Drink
Ingredients
1 kg tiger nuts
250 g dates
50 g ginger
Safe drinking water
Method: Blend the prepared tiger nuts with dates and ginger. Strain, process using an appropriate validated heat treatment, cool hygienically, and package.
Adjust the ginger gradually during recipe development so it does not overpower the tiger nut flavour.
4. EQUIPMENT YOU NEED TO START
You can begin with basic food-processing equipment and expand as your sales increase.
Equipment
Purpose
Strong blender
Blending grains and tiger nuts
Large food-grade bowls
Preparing and soaking ingredients
Stainless-steel pots
Heating and processing drinks
Food-grade sieve or filter bag
Removing solid particles
Measuring scale
Measuring ingredients accurately
Measuring jugs
Measuring water and finished drinks
Food thermometer
Monitoring processing and cooling temperatures
Food-grade bottles
Packaging the drinks
Bottle caps and sealing equipment
Closing packages
Refrigerator
Maintaining the cold chain
Cleaning and sanitising supplies
Maintaining hygiene
For larger-scale production, consider a commercial blender, food-grade extraction equipment, temperature-controlled processing equipment, and a suitable refrigerated storage system.
5. HOW TO PACKAGE YOUR KUNU DRINKS FOR SALE
You can offer several bottle sizes.
Bottle size
Potential customers
250 ml
Individual customers
350 ml
Workers and commuters
500 ml
Regular drink buyers
1 litre
Families and group orders
What to put on your label
Your label should include:
Business name and contact details.
Product name and flavour.
Ingredients.
Net volume.
Batch number.
Production date.
Validated use-by date.
Storage instructions.
Applicable regulatory information.
Use food-grade bottles and suitable closures. Avoid making claims such as “lasts for one month” unless your production process and shelf-life testing support that claim.
6. HOW TO PRESERVE KUNU AND TIGER NUT DRINKS SAFELY
This is one of the most important parts of the business.
Fresh kunu and tiger nut drinks contain moisture and nutrients that can support the growth of harmful microorganisms.
Follow these precautions:
Use safe drinking water.
Wash and sanitise equipment and food-contact surfaces.
Refrigerate ingredients that require temperature control.
Use a validated heat-treatment process appropriate for the particular drink.
Cool the finished product hygienically and rapidly.
Keep the product at 5°C or below during refrigerated storage and delivery, unless a validated process specifies otherwise.
Establish the shelf life through appropriate microbiological testing.
Discard products that have been temperature-abused or are otherwise unsafe.
Do not assume that adding ginger, dates, sugar, or preservatives makes the drink safe at room temperature.
In Nigeria, packaged beverages are subject to applicable food-safety and regulatory requirements. Before commercial production, consult National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) about the appropriate product-registration and facility-inspection pathway. Its official guidance explains the requirements for food manufacturers and packaged products. �
NAFDAC +2
You can find the relevant guidance on the official NAFDAC website⁠�.
7. HOW TO TURN YOUR KUNU PRODUCTION INTO A BUSINESS
Here is a practical way to get started.
Step 1: Start by developing two products: classic millet Kunu Zaki and Kunu Aya.
Step 2: Standardise the recipe so every batch has a consistent taste, texture, and quantity.
Step 3: Calculate the cost of grains, tiger nuts, dates, ginger, water, electricity, bottles, labels, labour, and delivery.
Step 4: Test the products with potential customers and collect feedback on sweetness, thickness, flavour, and bottle size.
Step 5: Establish safe processing, refrigeration, and shelf-life procedures before selling packaged drinks.
Step 6: Develop your business name, labels, pricing, and marketing materials.
Step 7: Complete the applicable regulatory requirements before offering the packaged beverages for sale.

3. Example Small-Capital Setup
If you're starting with around ₦30,000–₦50,000, divide your money roughly like this:
Ingredients — ₦15,000
Packaging — ₦7,000
Drinks bottles — ₦5,000
Cooking/frying supplies — ₦5,000
Labels/branding — ₦3,000
Emergency/transport — ₦5,000
Important: Treat these as planning estimates, not current market prices. Ingredient and packaging prices vary considerably by location and supplier.
4. Packaging Ideas
Chin chin: 50–100 g sealed transparent pouch
Plantain chips: 50–100 g sealed pouch
Cookies: 3–6 pieces in a small food-grade pack
Meat pie: Individual food-grade wrapping
Sausage roll: Individual wrapping
Zobo: 25–50 cl sealed bottle
Tigernut: 25–50 cl sealed bottle
Put your business name, product name, production date, and storage instructions on the packaging. For commercial packaged foods in Nigeria, also check applicable NAFDAC and food-labelling requirements before selling at scale.
💰 5. Simple Profit System
For every product, calculate:
Total production cost ÷ number of packs = cost per pack
Then add your desired profit.
Example:
If 50 packs cost you ₦10,000 to produce:
₦10,000 ÷ 50 = ₦200 cost per pack
If you sell each at ₦350:
₦350 − ₦200 = ₦150 gross margin per pack
50 × ₦150 = ₦7,500 gross margin
Do the same calculation for each snack and drink so you know exactly which products are making you money.
📦 6. Create School Food Packs
You can sell ready-made combinations:
₦500 Pack
Small chin chin
Plantain chips
Small zobo
₦1,000 Pack
Meat pie
Cookies
Zobo
₦1,500 Pack
Meat pie
Sausage roll
Chin chin
Tigernut drink
Adjust the prices to your actual production costs and your local market.
📣 7. How to Sell
Target:
Parents
Teachers
Schools
School canteens
Office workers
Birthday/event planners
Supermarkets and small shops
Offer wholesale prices for schools and resellers when they order larger quantities.
A particularly strong strategy is to approach schools with a sample pack + price list + wholesale order option rather than waiting for individual customer
