Amasi

Amasi is a drink that people in some parts of Africa like to drink. It is made from milk, like the milk you drink with your cereal. But it is a little different because it has a special type of friendly bacteria added to it.

This special bacteria does something amazing to the milk. It makes it thick and gives it a very tangy taste. Tangy means it tastes a little sour, like when you eat a lemon.

People drink amasi because it is very healthy. The special bacteria in it is good for our tummies and helps us poop better. It is also very nutritious and gives us a lot of important vitamins and minerals that our bodies need.

Sometimes people drink amasi all by itself, like a drink. Other times, they use it in cooking or baking. They might add it to their pancakes or use it to make yummy sauces for their food.

So, basically, amasi is a special milk drink that is very healthy and tastes a little sour. People in Africa love it!
