Unless you grew up in Miami you might find it strange to hear that Brazilians drink sugar cane juice. Chilled caldo de cana or suco de cana is delicious on a hot summer day. If you'd like to try it, go to a Cuban cafΘ in Miami and ask for a "garapo." Here I found a place that sells it in Campinas in the state of Sπo Paulo. Look for it also in juice bars in Rio de Janeiro. And, of course, if you go to sugar cane country in northeastern Brazil, you can buy those pretty slices of sugar cane on sticks to chew on.
