Serbia

I have one sourced drink connected to Serbia. The label on each card says how: where it began, what the country is known for, what people drink there, or where the origin is disputed.

Signature drinks and regional ones, with the evidence behind each. A drink marked non-alcoholic has no alcohol in the traditional serve.

    Šumadija

    PopularRegional drink

    A winter drink of mild plum rakija heated with sugar and a second portion of caramelized sugar, drunk piping hot. The name says tea but no tea is in it. It is called Grejana rakija (heated rakija) in other households.

    One Serbian cook describes it as a traditional drink from the Šumadija region and recalls adults drinking it on Christmas Eve. The page gives no date.

    Made with: plum rakija, sugar, caramelized sugar, water.
