Some of the several famous and refreshing cold drinks of Guatemala are the ones made from fruits and water called frescos. Two that I enjoyed most in the hot summer time is the one made out of 'masa' (the corn dough used in the making of tortillas) and the one made of mosh/avena (oats). My grandmother used to make these drinks in the summer evenings accompanied with slices of tamalitos de viaje. Another delicious one is the one made of jocote marañón which is the fruit of the cashews and the guayaba (guava). Guatemala also has the more common ones like horchata (a drink made of rice water, milk, sugar and a pinch of cinamon) tamarindo (tamarind), the famous rosa de Jamaica(Hibiscus flowers), fresco de naranja (orangaid), limonada (lemonaid) etc. Although those mentioned are good and sweet, nothing will compare to satiate you thirst in natural clear spring water suranded by nature.
