Case example 9: Kenya

“Muratina is an alcoholic drink made from sugar-cane and muratina fruit in Kenya. The fruit is cut in half, sun- dried and boiled in water. The water is removed and the fruit sun-dried again. The fruit is added to a small amount of sugar-cane juice and incubated in a warm place. The fruit is removed from the juice after 24 hours and sun-dried. The fruit is now added to a barrel of sugar-cane juice which is allowed to ferment for between one and four days. The final product has a sour alcoholic taste.
