Chicha Morada Recipe

Chicha Morada is one of the most emblematic entries in the Peruvian beverage canon. The drink is ancient—the Moche civilization cultivated purple corn 2500 years ago, and the Inca people considered this variety of corn sacred and used it in rituals.

Today, most households in Peru make their own from scratch, and you can find a freshly made version in nearly every restaurant, store, or bodega. The flavor is bright and refreshing—the richness of the purple corn is offset by the brightness of the lime, pineapple, and green apples; a slight hint of cinnamon and clove (two spices you see paired frequently in Peruvian cuisine) adds a note of complexity.

The complexity of the drink belies its simplicity however—you don’t need a culinary degree or advanced Spanish skills to bring this flavor of the Andes home, you just need a little patience.
