Cuáker Ecuador Oatmeal Beverage Recipes

CUáKER (ECUADOR OATMEAL BEVERAGE)

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients to a large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Remove the pineapple and cinnamon sticks and pour the remaining liquid through a strainer, pressing down on the solids to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids and serve hot or cold.
• Variations.
• Instead of passing the cuáker through a strainer, you can puree it in a blender if you prefer.
• Leave the pineapple unpeeled to give your cuaker even more flavor.
• Add a little pineapple juice after simmering if you would like your cuáker a little thinner.
