Kunu

Kunu is a family of cool, creamy, lightly spiced grain drinks from northern Nigeria, made by soaking and partly fermenting a cereal — most often pearl millet, but also sorghum or maize — then wet-grinding it with ginger and aromatic spice, partly cooking the slurry, and straining it smooth. The best-known form, kunun zaki, is faintly sweet, tangy and warming with ginger, served thoroughly chilled. It is a staple non-alcoholic refresher of Hausa and wider northern Nigerian cooking, drunk at home and at naming, wedding and other ceremonies.
