"Chicha Morada"
is a typical South American drink. Traditionally, it is prepared with whole purple corn cobs. Since these are almost impossible to buy in Germany, we use purple corn powder in our recipe, i.e. powdered purple corn kernels. Chicha Morada with ice cubes is a wonderful refreshment on hot summer days!
Ingredients:
1 heaped tablespoon of purple corn powder
1 stick of cinnamon
2 clove peel of a small half pineapple (unsprayed organic pineapple)
4 tablespoons of yacon syrup juice of a lime
Preparation:
- Put cloves, cinnamon stick and pineapple together with the purple corn powder and simmer in ½ liter of water in medium heat.
- Once the mixture has thickened a little, take it off the plate and let it cool.
- Shortly before serving, add the lime juice and yacon syrup
