Cususa is an ancestral beverage present in indigenous culture, made with corn, pineapple, and orange. Its preparation process is traditional and unique, including fermentation in the earth with banana leaves and distillation in a clay container. A delicious gem of Nicaraguan gastronomy.
In the preparation of Cususa, corn is germinated and processed.
Next, a hole is created in the ground and covered with plastic and banana leaves.
Then, the processed corn is placed in the hole with enough water, a straw, and a clay container to distill the final drink, Cususa.
For the composite version, sweet and ground spices are added to enhance flavor and aroma.
