Quentão (pronounced Kan-ton) is the typical beverage of the june celebrations.
For this one, cachaça is absolutely necessary (but it's been getting easier to find, with the popularization of caipirinhas)

Time of preparation: 40min
10 portions

1/2kg of sugar
juice of 6 limes
1/2 cup of water
1/2 Littre of cachaca
10 cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
1 tspoon of ground ginger


Prepare a syrup with the sugar and water. Add all the other ingredients, let it boil and reduce the heat, cooking it for 20 min. Remove it from the heat, sieve and serve it hot (very).
