Queimada ingredients

There is something ancient in the development of queimada, the liturgy that takes place, the meeting environment purifying fire, alcohol and spectral blue flame and even a spell all worthy of an anthropological study.

A meeting around a queimada in good company is a good way to spend an afternoon or evening. Contrary to popular belief does not have a high alcohol content as the most consumed in the process so that, consumed in moderation, not fear effluvia alcoholics.

Queimada fire

To develop a good enough queimada for 5 a liter of liquor and 100 grams of sugar, a dozen whole coffee beans and the skin of a lemon. You also need a proper household, there are some special clay pots for queimada including cups (very similar to those of porcelain which is served Ribeiro) and a clay pot also essential for processing.

The recipe is simple, but may vary depending on the region or the customs of the area, generally the process is as follows: lie down in the bowl all ingredients and mix until sugar is diluted. Then, collect a sample pan with brandy and set aside and carefully, catches fire. When the flame is stretched gently approaching the container and extends to the entire mix, this is the most delicate process. When the whole mixture was taken with the ladle are collected small amounts that rise and then dropped onto the container. At that time reciting the Queimada conxuro. When the flame has gone out small embers are ready to serve. Serve hot and with caution because if the fire is not properly shut can pass the cup.

As we mentioned above, the liturgy is part of making these recipes, a darkened environment that is sensitive to the flames, people around the spectacle of the rise and fall of the spirit, the recitation of the spell (you can find multiple Internet versions) make the development queimada a magical process.
