This is a beautiful tree that provides a fruit and bark used to make a drink called mabi , this has the scientific name Colubrina arborescens, also known as Indian bejuco, This tree is native to the Caribbean.
This tree is very appreciated, since it is made a sweet elixir that contains the inside of its trunk, the mab铆 must be prepared based on a curled and very dry bark, looking like cinnamon stick, if not thus, the result will be a bitter liquid; This can be made without or with fermentation, the liquid that is subjected to this process is categorized as beer because it can reach 78潞 F, however it has a low alcohol content, the mabi tastes very similar to root beer making This drink is much appreciated by many people in the world.
In my country Venezuela, the mabi is made in the town of Guiria Valdez municipality of the Sucre state, a rural and very picturesque place where its inhabitants revere this drink for its flavor and properties.
The elaborated mabi drink has a rich flavor and purifying properties for the organism to such an extent that it is said to be ideal for cleaning the male and female reproductive system and leaves it ready and prepared for conception. This also has a laxative effect to cleanse our digestive system.
