Waiting for a cook
Ghana
Lamugin (lamugee, "Hausa beer", though there is no alcohol in it) is the spiced rice or millet drink of the zongo communities of Ghana, cousin to Nigeria's kunu: raw rice soaked overnight and blended with fresh ginger, cloves, black pepper, chilli and tamarind water, strained until smooth and sweetened, drunk cold over ice at breakfast or with kebabs. A quicker southern version drops the grain and simply boils ginger, lime, cloves, cinnamon and grains of Selim into a hot, warming infusion.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 11 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
