Delicious dishes [uno]- caipirinhas!
Lovely nu, north london community, is also travelling to Mozambique the same time I'm off to el peru. To embrace the spirit of our adventures we had a little caipirinha in the portugese cafe.No one knows for sure who first began making cachaça but the earliest report dates to about 1610 in the state of Bahia (then a Portuguese captaincy). Many believe that cachaça production began soon after the introduction of sugar cane into Brasil––sometime around 1550. For centuries, cachaça was produced almost exclusively for slaves, natives and the lower classes.
Lovely Nu's recipe:-
Measure of cachaca- Brasilian sugar cane brandy
Ice
Limes
Sugar
Crush the ice and half fill a tall glass, add the cachaca (about a double gin measure), squeeze in the lime juice and as much of the fruit as you can scoop out, (I throw in the scooped out lime as well), add a teaspoon of sugar (or more if you like it sweet).That's it!
