Chicha Morada is a traditional Peruvian beverage made from purple corn, flavored with fruits and spices. This refreshing drink is not only delicious but also packed with antioxidants from the purple corn and the various fruits used, making it a perfect choice for a unique and vibrant beverage.
In a large pot, bring 5 cups of water to a boil.
Add the purple corn, cinnamon stick, and cloves to the boiling water.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water has taken on a deep purple color.
Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Once cooled, strain the liquid into a large pitcher to remove the corn and spices, pressing the solids to release more juice if necessary.
Add the diced apple and pineapple to the strained liquid.
Stir in the sugar, lime juice, and vanilla extract, adjusting sweetness to taste.
Refrigerate the chicha morada for at least 2 hours to chill.
Serve over ice and garnish with sliced fruits if desired.
