Tercer Concurso Foodies, / Third Foodies Contest [ESP/ENGL]

>Hello dear **community Foodies Bee Hive**, today I am going to share with you a drink based on pineapple shell and rice, this was a drink that in my childhood my grandmother prepared for the time and Easter, but over time as the family grew up it was made for our family celebrations. In my house we make it every time it provokes us, it has become the Chicha de Maita as we used to call our grandmother.

According to what my grandmother told us, her grandmother used to prepare it for them when they were children and it became a tradition in our family, in my house we make it in honor of her whenever there is a family gathering, she is originally from the hills of Aroa in the state of Yaracuy Venezuela.

Hola querida comunidad Foodies Bee Hive, hoy voy a compartir con ustedes una bebida a base de concha de piña y arroz, esta era una bebida que en mi infancia mi abuela preparaba para la época e semana santa, pero con el tiempo al ir creciendo la familia se hacía para nuestras celebraciones en familia. En mi casa la hacemos cada vez que nos provoca ha llegado a ser la Chicha de Maita como le decíamos a nuestra abuela.

Según nos contaba mi abuela su abuela se la preparaba a ellos cuando niños y pasó a ser tradición en nuestra familia, en mi casa la hacemos en honor a ella siempre que hay un encuentro familiar, ella es originaria de los cerros de Aroa en el estado Yaracuy Venezuela.

She had two ways of preparing them, I will explain them both, but for the sake of time and because it is the one I have always liked, I will share with you the children's version.

Ella tenía dos formas de prepararlas, voy a explicarlas ambas, pero por factor tiempo y por ser la que siempre me ha gustado les compartiré la versión infantil.

Chop the shells into small pieces to make it easier to blend them.

Picamos las conchas en pedazos pequeños para sea más fácil a la hora de licuarlas.

Place them in a container with a liter of water and let them ferment for 8 to 10 hours at room temperature, (my grandmother used to let them ferment for 15 days in a clay pot, for adults because the longer the fermentation time, the stronger the flavor, I never liked it because of its alcoholic taste).

Las colocamos en un recipiente con un litro de agua y las dejamos fermentar de 8 a 10 horas a temperatura ambiente,(mi abuela las dejaba fermentar por 15 días en una vasija de arcilla, para los adultos ya que a mayor tiempo de fermentación más fuerte era el sabor, a mí en lo particular nunca me gustó, por su sabor a bebida alcoholada).

Once the fermentation time is over, we put them in a pot, add 1 ½ liter of water, the rice, the cinnamon and the cloves.

Pasado el tiempo de fermentación las pasamos a una olla, le agregamos 1 ½ litro de agua, el arroz, la canelas y los clavos de olor.

We take them to the fire for approximately 30 to 40 minutes until the shells are soft.

Llevamos al fuego aproximadamente de 30 a 40 minutos hasta que las conchas están blandas.
