In my travels I have observed that each place visited has at least one unique, traditional meal that tastes worse and costs more anywhere else on earth.
The Philadelphia cheesesteak (with fried onions)... fish tacos in San Diego (with salsa verde)... key lime pie in the Florida Keys.
These local staples are often marketed by food and restaurant corporations into global commodities.
If this drink becomes a global commodity I pray that it rewards the indigenous culture that it has nourished for thousands of years.
It is made by mixing dry, crushed corn into a hot cup of coffee.
It was shared with me near the Four-Corners area of the U.S, on land that was threatened by thirty years of mining.
It made a delicious and simple breakfast and tasted best with freshly ground corn.
