Traditional Beverages
Southern Betsimisaraka culture is known for its diverse and flavorful drinks. From sweet to savory, these drinks are an essential part of our daily life and celebrations. Here are some of the most common traditional beverages:
Ranon'apango
Ranon'apango is a type of tea made from burnt rice. Yes, burnt rice! It may sound unappetizing, but it's actually quite delicious. To make ranon'apango, we burn rice until it turns black, then rinse it with water and boil it. The resulting liquid is smooth, earthy, and slightly sweet. We often drink it with a snack in the morning or as a refreshment on a hot day. Ranon'apango is rich in antioxidants and has digestive benefits.
