THE AUTHENTIC ASAANA/ LIHA RECIPE ( CARAMELISED CORN DRINK)

I finally found the most authentic way of making the famous West African fermented corn drink known as Asaana, Liha,Tchakpalo, Dolo or Aliha.

The fermented and germinated corn kernels are milled, mixed with water, fermented further and added to Caramel for that distinctive dark brown to black look. 

The inclusion of Salt in this recipe is optional as it helps reduce the amount of Sugar used.

 The amount of Sugar used should suit your personal preference. When next you are in Ghana, Togo or Benin do enjoy a calabash full of this ‘goodness’.
