Sobre este Tip
Tejuino is a fermented corn drink sweetened with piloncillo and served over ice with lime juice and coarse salt. Many vendors add a scoop of lime sorbet and some sprinkle chile powder, so say which you want when you order. Look for the stalls in tianguis markets and around the historic center, where the old tejuino carts still turn up. It tastes sweet, sour and salty at once, so start with a small cup.
