    Colada de Piña is a drink made from dried corn, pineapple, cloves, nutmeg, sugar and cinnamon, and derives from El Chocó department, located in the Pacific region of Colombia.

    This colada is traditionally served cold, but you can also enjoy it warm during the cold months. You can adjust the amount of water based on how thick or thin you would like the consistency of the drink. Same thing applies to the amount of sugar and how sweet you want your Colada de Piña.

    Buen provecho!
