How to make cane with rue recipe
This tradition, strongly rooted in the north of our country, consists of preparing a few days before (you can make your own concoction from now on) a bottle with some sprigs of rue (or rudamacho, that plant that single ladies placed on the sole of their feet to get a husband) and adding cane, and then letting it macerate.
Reed with ritual rue
Many ask us how to drink cane with rue, so we prepared this special article dedicated to this ancestral ritual, which belongs to our Latin American tradition and unites us as brothers, along with the customs of the native peoples.
This practice ofdrinking cane with rue leaves is believed to ward off all evils (and surely all people, since the mouth must be left with an unmistakable smell of rue) and prolongs life for those who perform it. You just need to take some courage (before drinking the mixture) and drink a drink on an empty stomach. Yes, you read that right, on an empty stomach, so caution is recommended in terms of the amount to eat.
Some people add a little burnt sugar, and even an orange peel to the preparation in an attempt to flavor this strong drink. During maceration, it is advisable to store the bottle in a cool, dark place. A good option is to take a drink without breathing, quickly and in one go, like when we try to remove an adhesive dressing from an old wound. Cheers! And for many more years!
