Canelazo Guajiro – Chirrinchón

Chirrinchón is La Guajira´s version of the popular canezalo from central Colombia. According to a local, its name is due to the fact that after drinking it, you are going to need a good mattress (colchón in Spanish) or a good hammock (chinchorro in Spanish) where to lie down. It will leave you with a feeling of relaxation and well-being.

• A quarter of Panela (125 g)
• 500 ml of water

Preparation

1. In a pot add water with the panela, the cinnamon, the mint and the lemon, let it boil for a few minutes.
