It's Friday....How About A Beer For Your Cups?

Today's submission is in part thanks to my uncle who I picked up the feed from. It had been rumored that there was a magical brew available in Europe known as Boza. The brew claims to have 'breast enhancing capabilities' when consumed. I had heard rumors of such potion for sometime now, but thought they were mainly an urban legend. Could there really be such a thing? I hit google to see if I could find out. Here's what I came up with.....

The brew itself is a long standing Bulgarian tradition where you simply combine the standard ingredients of flour and sugar and allow to ferment (with the aid of a fermenting agent). The brew can contain up to 4% alcohol by volume. A number of different flours are possible to use, the best (and most favored) is however, millet flour. Below is a standard recipe for those 'do it yourselfers' out there. Please note, I'm not responsible in any way for potential gut rot resulting from a bad batch, nor responsible for any slaps to the face when you try to serve this to that 'special someone' in your life.

Ingredients:
5 l water
2 teacupfuls flour
2 teacupfuls sugar
1 teacupful boza or home-made ferment

Directions:
Slightly roast the flour (to become rosy in colour). Take care not to get it burnt. Mix it with only a bit of lukewarm water. Pour the mixture into the pot filled with the rest of the water and put it on the plate. Add the sugar and leave the liquid to boil stirring it once in a while. Keep boiling for 5-6 minutes still stirring. Remove the pot from the fire and let it cool. Add 1 teacupful boza or home-made ferment. Leave the mixture in a warm place for 2-3 days to cause fermentation. When the boza is ready, pour it in bottles and store in a cool place (refrigerator).

Ingredients for home made ferment:
1-2 spoonfuls slightly roasted flour
1 teacupful tepid water
1 spoonful sugar

Directions:
Mix the slightly roasted flour (take care to keep it from burning) with the water and stir well. Add the sugar. Leave the mess in a warm place for 2-3 days to ferment, stirring it from time to time.

Ok gang, there you go. Boza, one of the many benefits associated with Bulgaria's joining of the European Union. Now, whether it makes you more plump or not will have to be left to some empirical trial and error on your behalf. Enjoy, and Skoal a big glass of Boza to 'A Cup For Your Cups'.
