Mamajuana
Mamajuana is a Dominican alcoholic preparation associated with botanicals steeped in a mixture that may include rum, wine and honey. Bottles and recipes vary; it is not a standardized herbal remedy.
Caribbean uses
It is usually discussed as a drink, not a universal cooking sauce. The serving suggestion uses a labeled, ready-to-drink commercial product and makes no medicinal claims.
Preparation and storage
Do not improvise with unidentified roots or bark. Confirm ingredients, alcohol content and guest preferences; serve only to adults choosing alcohol.
