Brukina

Brukina, also spelled burkina, is a cool, creamy, gently soured drink from Ghana made by folding cooked, dried and ground pearl-millet grits into sweetened, often lightly fermented cow's milk. Named for and associated with migrants from Burkina Faso, it is a thick, sippable milk drink carrying a scatter of tiny cooked-millet pearls that give it a faint chew, mild grain flavour and satisfying, semi-solid body. Sold ice-cold from coolers and street carts across Accra and the Ghanaian south, it sits somewhere between a drink, a light meal and a dessert.
