📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Made simply by dissolving panela, a block of unrefined cane sugar, in water — one of the most everyday drinks in Colombian homes. It's also a folk remedy sipped hot when someone has a cold, and just as often served chilled, lemonade-style.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Enjoyed with breakfast or as a warm remedy for a cold — a drink passed down across generations.
