Chapo (beverage)

Chapo is a beverage made of sweet plantains, water, and spices. It is from the Matsés and Shipibo people of the Peruvian Amazon jungle,[1][2] and is made from boiled sweet plantains spiced with cinnamon and cloves.[3] The Matsés squeeze the soft flesh of the plantain through homemade palm-leaf sieves, cook the chapo, and serve it warm by the fire. It is often enjoyed from a hammock.[1]
