Cuáker (Ecuador Oatmeal Beverage)
Ready In: 40 mins
Yields: 4-5
Ingredients
- 1 pineapple, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 1 cup old fashioned oats (not instant)
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 2 cinnamon sticks (optional)
- 5 cups water
Directions
- Add all the ingredients to a large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove the pineapple and cinnamon sticks and pour the remaining liquid through a strainer, pressing down on the solids to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids and serve hot or cold.
- Variations.
- Instead of passing the cuáker through a strainer, you can puree it in a blender if you prefer.
- Leave the pineapple unpeeled to give your cuaker even more flavor.
- Add a little pineapple juice after simmering if you would like your cuáker a little thinner.
