Colombian Sugar Water
At Museo de la Cana (the sugar plantation museum) outside Cali, Colombia we sampled sugar water. It looked like muddy water, ladled from a puddle. But it tasted the opposite of swamp water. It was sweet, clear and cool, with a hint of tang from the fresh squirt of lemon juice. I prefer aguapanela -- which is unrefined sugar water with less sweetness. But this was refreshing and nice.
