Champús

Champús is a drink popular in Ecuador, Peru and southwest Colombia, made with maize, fruits such as lulo , pineapple, quince or guanábana, sweetened with panela and seasoned with cinnamon, cloves and orange tree leaves. In Peru, it is drunk warm, and apple, guanábana and quince are used instead of lulo. It is sold in the streets by a champusera, who passes down the recipe to younger generations. In Ecuador, it is prepared with maize flour, panela and lemon tree leaves. It is a drink in funeral rites in November or at the funerals of adults because the indigenous tradition considers it a favorite of the dead.
