== Ingredients and preparation == Asaana has three main ingredients, fermented corn, sugar and water. Fermentation is achieved by crushing and soaking the corn for days in water and then boiling until the foam clears. Sugar is then boiled in water to a dark brown color. The water from the boiled corn is strained and mixed with the sugar to form the drink.
