: Mauby (in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Guyana, Bermuda, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda and Anguilla), but also known as ''mavi (maví or mabí)'' in Puerto Rico, ''mabi'' in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and ''maubi'' in the Virgin Islands and Dutch Caribbean islands of St. Eustatius, St. Maarten and Saba), is a tree bark-based beverage grown, and widely consumed, in the Caribbean. It is made with sugar and the bark and/or fruit of certain species in the ''Colubrina'' genus including ''Colubrina elliptica'' (also called ''behuco indio'') and ''Colubrina arborescens'', a small tree native to the northern Caribbean and south Florida. Recipes usually include other spices as well, aniseed being very common. Haiti and the Dominican Republic are two of the largest Caribbean exporters of the bark and leaves. Often the drink is fermented using a portion of the previous batch, while sometimes it is consumed unfermented. Mauby is often bought as a pre-made syrup and then mixed with water (sparkling or still) to the consumer's taste, but many still make it themselves at home. Its taste is initially sweet, somewhat like root beer, but changes to a prolonged, but not astringent bitter aftertaste. To many, it is an acquired taste, and has been known to cause an initial laxative reaction unexpected to many first-time drinkers. Grupo Taino of the Dominican Republic markets two versions of ''mabi'', both made with carbonated water. ''Seybano'' is lighter in color and made from tree bark extract and white and brown sugar, while ''Cacheo'' is darker and made from both bark and fruit extract, with spices and brown sugar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Productos )〕 Contrary to its name, ''Mabi Cacheo'' does not include sap from the Cacheo palms (''Pseudophoenix ekmanii'' and ''P. vinifera''). ''Mauby Fizzz'' is a commercially produced and carbonated version of the drink produced in Trinidad and Tobago from mauby bark. It is unfermented. A similar version is also produced in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines called Hairoun Mauby. ==References== * * (【引用サイトリンク】title=Mmmm… Mauby! ) * (【引用サイトリンク】title=Making Mauby ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mauby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
