- 2 67 oz White Aguardiente
- 300 grams Sugar
- 2 peels Lemon
- 1 peel Orange
- 1 handful Coffee grains
Directions
- We place the aguardiente and sugar in a clay pot of our own to burn, in the proportion of 150 grams for each liter of brandy.
- We reserve 2 tablespoons of sugar to plant the fire, so we peel the lemons and the orange and throw them into the clay container
- Now comes the most important part. In a ladle we put the 2 tablespoons of sugar with a little brandy and we start a flame on the spoon, when the flame starts we bring it to the container of the queimada so that it begins to burn.
- We add a handfull of coffee beans, the ones that fit in one hand. In this way, the drink will have a toasted color, also thanks to the caramel that is going to be formed with the sugar.
- Wait for the fire to burn out and cheers!
