Api is a thick drink made out of slightly fermented white or purple corn flour, cinnamon, sugar and water as a base but slightly different ingredients between the two. Purple Api and White Api is served hot on a cold night.
This Christmas, my mother in law, treated us to the traditional way it is served, by mixing two varieties of Api together and serving it with Pasteles.
Pastel is another traditional Bolivian pastry. It is stuffed with either a stew stuffing or cheese. It is deep fryed and served with powdered sugar.
