Venezuelan Chicha, is a popular drink sold by the vendors at street corners, markets, fairs and outlets in commercial centres, malls etc in Venezuela. "Chicha" is made of boiled rice, milk and sugar and served cold with loads of ice cubes. Usually served as a refreshing beverage, cinnamon powder, condensed milk or chocolate are also used as toppings. This Venezuelan "Chicha" contains no alcohol as it is not fermented. A lot of Latin American countries have a "chicha" recipe but they are all very different. The Venezuelan Chicha is basically the liquid version of the famous dessert “arroz con leche”, another Latin American staple dessert.
Venezuelan Chicha is made from simple ingredients which is usually available in your pantry. With an easy cooking process, this popular drink is loved by people of all ages. This gluten free drink can be a super excellent summer drink to serve as this chicha tastes absolutely unique. Am running this week's blogging marathon with Explore Latin American cuisine as theme, hence am posting this Venezuelan Chicha for this week's theme. Seriously we thoroughly enjoyed this super refreshing drink and just loved it.
