Chicha is a popular and typical drink in Venezuela, in many of its towns you can find small businesses or mobile cars that sell this drink.
It is very rich, with a thick texture and has the goodness of being very versatile to combine with various toppings. Besides that, they also use the mixture to offer snacks to children; or when they stop breastfeeding, they introduce a chicha mixture into a bottle.
From my personal part, my couple of children love it and that is why I usually prepare it a couple of times a week for their snacks. In addition to the children, my brothers, my aunt and my mother also enjoy the sweet taste of chicha, which refreshes them in the afternoons. 馃馃
