Brukina

Cultural Context

Brukina is a traditional Ghanaian beverage made from millet, often enjoyed as a nutritious drink. It is commonly consumed for breakfast or as a refreshing snack, especially in rural communities. This drink highlights the importance of millet in West African diets and has seen variations with added flavors or sweeteners in modern adaptations.

Introduce ingredients: millet flour, plain yogurt, Greek yogurt, liquid yogurt (Laban), sugar, salt, banana, vanilla.
