From the moment they arrived on this land, Portuguese colonists shaped the cuisine by adapting their own dishes with indigenous ingredients. It is a skilful blend of local products such as cassava, black beans and coconut milk, with ingredients brought from Africa such as bananas.

And for the party \u2014 an essential feature of Brazilian life! \u2014 become an expert in caipirinha. A cocktail of uncertain origins…
\nSeveral theories nonetheless credit it with medicinal properties, whether curing slaves of influenza in the 17th century, treating a cholera outbreak in the Paraty region in 1856, or even combating the Spanish flu in 1918.<\/p>\n

Take a large glass, 60 ml of cacha\u00e7a, 1 organic lime, 2 teaspoons of raw cane sugar, and crushed ice.
\nCut the lime into small wedges, keeping the peel on.
\nIn the glass, using a muddler, crush the lime with the cane sugar.
\nAdd the cacha\u00e7a and the crushed ice.
\nGarnish the glass with a slice of lime and enjoy (in moderation…).<\/p>\n
