Malamba
TypeFermented beverage
Region or stateCentral Africa
Main ingredientsSugarcane juice

Malamba is a traditional alcoholic beverageinCameroon, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon made by fermenting sugarcane juice. The canes are crushed in a mortar, and the juice is left to ferment for approximately two weeks.[1] The flavor and texture is similar to the Latin American drink guarapo. To accelerate the process of fermentation, bark from the Garcinia kola (bitter kola in English, known as essocoronaé in Cameroon)[2] can be added to the juice.[3] Corn is also sometimes added during the fermentation process to increase the alcohol content. In Gabon, the drink is also known as musunguorvin de canne (cane wine) in French.[4]
