Api is a traditional hot drink from Bolivia made from maize flour and cinnamon. It is usually served in the morning as a breakfast drink and is a staple in the Andean region. The maize flour is boiled in water and then flavored with cinnamon, sugar, and sometimes clove. Api is thick and has a creamy texture, and it is often served with cheese or other ingredients to create a more substantial meal. It is a staple in many Bolivian homes and is considered to be a comforting and warming drink, especially during cold weather.
