chicha morada
Chicha morada is a traditional Peruvian beverage made from purple corn, known as maíz morado. The drink is prepared by boiling the corn with water, pineapple, cinnamon, and cloves, which gives it a sweet and fruity flavor. After boiling, the mixture is strained and sweetened with sugar or honey, and often served chilled.
This refreshing drink is not only popular in Peru but also enjoyed in other parts of Latin America. Chicha morada is often served at celebrations and family gatherings, making it a staple in Peruvian culture. It is also praised for its antioxidant properties due to the natural pigments in purple corn.
