Chicha Morada is a refreshing traditional Peruvian beverage made from purple corn, packed with antioxidants and bursting with fruity flavors. It's perfect served cold on a hot day or as a unique drink at gatherings.
In a large pot, combine the purple corn, water, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes until the water turns dark purple.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool before straining the liquid to remove the corn, cinnamon stick, and cloves.
Add the pineapple juice and sugar to the strained liquid, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add lime juice and mix well. Adjust sweetness as desired by adding more sugar.
If using, mix in the diced apple and pineapple for extra flavor and texture.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or serve immediately over ice.
