Tesguino

Tesguino is a special drink that is made in some parts of Mexico. It is made by taking corn, which is a type of vegetable, and soaking it in water overnight. After that, the corn is cooked with water and a special type of yeast, which makes the mixture start to ferment. Ferment means that it starts to turn into a different type of substance.

Once the corn mixture has fermented, it is strained and mixed with more water and sometimes with a type of brown sugar called piloncillo. Then, it is left to ferment again for a few more days. After that, the drink is ready to be served!

People who like tesguino enjoy its unique taste, which is often described as slightly sour or tangy. Some people also believe that this drink has health benefits, like helping with digestion.

However, it is important to remember that tesguino is an alcoholic drink, which means that it can make people feel a little bit dizzy or unwell if they drink too much of it. That's why it's important to enjoy tesguino in moderation and never drink it if you are under the legal drinking age.
