Do you shop impulsively? Sometimes this happens to me when I buy groceries. I was in a Latino store and suddely this purple corn (in Spanisch maíz morado) caught my eye. I was like, I had never seen anything like this before, so I needed to buy it. When I got home, I sat down and googled what to make out of it. I soon found out that chicha morada seemed to be the most common recipe. It is a refreshing beverage from Peru that does NOT contain any alcohol and has a crazy cool color. Sounded super interesting. So I had to try it. The hardest part was the waiting part because it had to chill. But then finally my husband and me gave it a try. Wow, it was completely different. We drank it on a hot day and it was truly refreshing. Yes, it does contain some sugar, but seriously, I hate sodas that contain so much sugar, you have to drink a lot of water afterwards to quench your thirst. My husband (Colombian) had tried it several times before. For me it was the second time. We were both delighted, this was so much better than what we had tried before. I had only tried it once at a festival, but was not too excited. You can skip the chopped fruit and drink it pure. It is really amazing.
