Chicha Recipe

For a second there, I thought you were asking for a chucha recipe. I think I've been reading too many of Elmo's posts lately.....

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

I got it in Spanish Chicha

Preparación

Se tuestan un poco, una o dos libras de maíz amarillo, se cocina muy bien hasta que esté blando y en seguida se muele. Luego se desata en agua, se cuela para sacarle el residuo del maíz y se echa en una vasija de barro o de madera con el melado frío suficiente para endulzarlo, clavos de olor, canela y hojas de naranjo tiernas. Se tapa y se deja fermentar tres días.

If you need it in English post a reply, I will translate as a cook would tomorrow ... too late tonight to do that. I hope this is recipe you were looking for, I found many related recipes.

Chicha in English Some of the expressions were hard to translate - no garantee for your survival ;-)

Preparation

Take one or two pounds of yellow corn, cook very well until soft and mash immediately. Then rinse it in water and strain it to remove the corn shells (?). Pour into a clay or wood pot with sufficient cold sugar syrup to sweeten it, mix in cloves, cinnamon and some grated orange peel(?). Cover the bowl and let it ferment for three days.
