Banana beer, anyone? 🍌🍺
This traditional Tanzanian brew has deep cultural roots- especially in the Kilimanjaro region, where it’s called mbege.
Depending on where you go, the name may change, but the spirit of community stays the same!
Mbege is traditionally brewed by women using traditional methods passed down through generations.
Want to try making it yourself? Here’s the basic process:
1. Peel bananas, cook, and mash into a thick porridge
2. Let the mash ferment for a few days
3. Cook millet flour into a similar porridge
4. Mix both porridges and ferment again
5. Filter through banana leaves
6. Serve fresh—and share with friends! 😄
This isn’t just a drink. It’s a taste of Tanzania’s heritage 🇹🇿.
