cholao


We just got back from a trip to Colombia, so several Colombian food posts will follow. First up, cholao - a drink of sorts from the city of Cali. It's made with some combination of shaved ice, chopped tropical fruit (mango, banana, guanabana, etc.), jam, condensed milk, and milo flakes (made of chocolate and malt). I ordered mine without the condensed milk, but later found out that the milo flakes have a tiny bit of dairy. Even without them, it makes for a great fruity treat!
