About Tejuino

Traditional Mexican Beverage

Tejuino is a lightly fermented beverage based on corn, seasoned with salt, dark sugar, lemon, ice and a pinch of chile.

Tejuino originated in Colima, a southwest Mexican state.

Tejuino main ingredients are corn dough and piloncillo.

--Piloncillo is the Mexican word for hardened molases--.

Tejuino is a refreshing drink that you can buy along the west Mexican coast and in northern Mexican states. Tejuino's base is masa, the very same dough used to makes up tortillas.

They mix it with water and piloncillo, and boil it to a thick consistency. The key in preparing this refreshing beverage is pouring it from a high level and back from a high level several times to oxigenate it. The end result: one of the planet's best rehydration drinks.
