Delicious Water Sugar

Above is a photograph of DELICIOUS AGUADULCE. Aguadulce translates to "water sweet" or "water candy." I had it on our second day in Costa Rica. This was before we were to make our trek to a volcano. This stuff is nuts. It comes hot, which I was surprised about, since it was pretty hot and humid. When I took a sip, it felt like the forces of nature shoved sweetness into my mouth and I felt an explosion of flavor so new it felt like Ganondorf was invading my mouth for the first time again. If you don't understand what I just said, it is okay. Ignore it.

Seriously. It's totally not gay.

Stop thinking about it.

I had my aguadulce with leche, which is Spanish speak for milk. It was delicious, or delicioso, as the natives call it. It really tasted "natural" though, if that makes any sense. It was probably sugar cane with milk, since the sweetness didn't taste like manufactured crystal sweet, but rather, extracted naturally from a plant sweet.
