Drinks
In Peru, tap water is not safe to drink because of the bad pipes (Falconer 118). Most people drink bottled water. Tea is very popular drink in Peru. It is often served with lemon and sugar. Peruvains grow their own coffee but it is not as good as Colombian coffee. The favorite method of making coffee is to boil it for hours until only a thick, dark syrup remiians called //essencia//. This is then poured into vreuts and diluted with hot milk or water (Falconer 118). Peru also has many flavored soft drinks. Local favorites are Inca Cola and cola inglesa cola. Inca cola is a golden color and Inglesa cola is red colored and very sweet (much like the American Shirley Temple). Because of Peru's tropical climate there are many exotic flavors of juices. Such as: blackberry, passion fruit, and watermelon (Falconer 118). Most people drink Chichi, this is a beer made by fermenting corn or quioa. Some beer recipes date back to the Incas.
