“Chicha” generally refers to a type of fermented or non-fermented beverage made from maize (corn) or other ingredients, primarily in Latin American and Andean cultures. The traditional preparation often involves the fermentation of corn, which can result in a mildly alcoholic drink. In some contexts, “chicha” can also refer to a type of sweet beverage made from fruits, or it may describe various regional variations in different countries. The term can also carry cultural significance, often associated with local customs and social gatherings.
