Elaboración paso a paso
- Preparation
- In a mill or grinding machine, grind the toasted peanuts with almonds, coconut, and rice, until obtaining a very fine paste. If the paste is too dry, add a little water to grind easily.

- Add paste to syrup and bring to a boil. Cook over low heat until mixture dries. Stir constantly. Let it cook for an hour and a half.
- Remove from heat and pour mixture in a container. Cover until used.
- In a large pot, put the washed quinoa with the water. Let it cook over high heat for about an hour, or until quinoa bursts. Remove from heat.
- In the same pot or in a ceramic container, let cooked quinoa ferment for two or three days. Store in a warm place.
- In order to prepare chicha, strain fermented liquid in a large container. Add the peanut paste already prepared.
- To serve, add more sugar if desired. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon on top.
- Note: It is better not to keep prepared chicha for more than one day. Mix only what will be consumed during the day.
