    It looks good on the video, however, I learned to make it much different while living in Miami for many years. This brazilian drink included whipping egg whites and pour on top and a few splashes of in it and after the egg whites are poured on top a few dashes of cinnamon. I used to make them myself. I was totally hooked on this drink. truely delicious!!

    This has got to be the most nourishing drink for da soul - and it tastes like heaven on the Island of Inyaka - know one knows how not to make this island drink. You just have to go there and ask for it at any of the local taverns. Melb and Chisanga
