    Guarapo Costeño is made by boiling water with Panela, and mixing it with fresh lime juice. For those who are not familiar with Panela or Piloncillo, it is a Latin product that is made with sugarcane and is sweet and brown. It is sold in blocks or grated, and the flavor is similar to brown sugar. Panela can be found in Latin grocery stores or online at amazon.com.
