Canelazo
Well
it's because in Ecuador most of its region are mountainous so the weather there at night can be really cold. That's why ecuadorians made this drink
due the climate in there, canelazo also well known in Columbia and
Peru. Canelazo is made from brown sugar, cinnamon and cloves, orange
and lime juice,
and the fiery concoction known as aguardiente (or "fire water").
Although from the appearance it looks like 'wedang jahe' in Indonesia. But still worthy to try right ? From the food and drink if we
visit Ecuador someday!
