Aguapanela
Aguapanela, '' agua de panela'' or ''agüepanela'' is a drink commonly found throughout South America and a few parts of Central America and Caribbean. Its literal translation means "panela water" as it is an infusion made from panela which is derived from hardened sugar cane juice. Though recipe variations exist throughout South America, it is most popular in Colombia. In Colombia, it is commonly drunk with a hint of lemon, much the way tea is consumed. Preparation Aguapanela is made by adding pieces of panela to water and stirring until the pieces are entirely dissolved. The drink may be served hot or cold, with lemon or lime often being added. In the hot form, sometimes milk or a chunk of cheese is added in place of fruit juice. In Colombia, black coffee is often prepared with aguapanela instead of water and sugar.
