Chicha Andina
+ 1 Likes
Submitted on: March 6, 2023
A very new way of using corn popped up in my studies on a libation known as Chicha! The recipe I found, called Chicha Andina, seems to roughly translate to Andean (of the Andes Mountain) Corn Flesh/Meat. T'is a Peruvian creation usually done with the brightly purpled-colored maize of the area (which when boiled and sometimes fermented is called Chicha Morada) The concept takes the corn kernels and forms them into an opaque milk which you can use to sweeten and colorize your cocktail.

Make corn milk by blending corn kernels with water (straight from the cob, but ensure they are separated from the cob first). Use approximately 1/3 cup of water per whole cob's worth of kernels. Strain out the solids and use the resulting opaque liquid as corn milk. Combine all ingredients, shake and double strain. Garnish with a piece of baby corn (if you've got any) and a cinnamon stick.

Fresh corn milk brings a creamy, earthy depth to this tropical riff. Jamaican rum and pineapple provide the necessary backbone to balance the unique vegetal sweetness.

This is such a creative use of corn! I love the nod to Chicha Morada. Do you find that different varieties of corn change the sweetness level of the milk significantly?
