Also this year, now is the time to prepare the new bottles of Mama Juana! The Mama Juana is a mixture of alcohol and original crafts typical of the Dominican Republic. The flavor is reminiscent of the healing spirits prepared by the monks in the monasteries Italian. It is traditionally made up of over 20 different roots, here in Las Galeras, are collected in Cabo Cabron, the hill overlooking Playa Rincon. Ingredients: Dark rum, red wine and honey, put to soak in the bottle. In classical composition color is reddish and taste alcoholic, sweet and with a significant hint of herbs. 
Spices: Petiveria alliacea, star anise, Cissus verticillata, Basil, canelilla, Bojuco, Marabeli, Caro (PrincessVine), Cloves, Agave, Timacle (West Indian Milkberry) ...
The roots and pieces of twigs, should be bottled and left in hot water, at least for one night, then be washed very well and macerated in rum.
The bottles are then emptied and refilled with wine, rum, honey, roots, branches and spices. You have to let it rest, before drinking, at least for a week.
According to local tradition, the product is considered to be a medicinal product a bit 'for all the ills and also an aphrodisiac, a sort of natural Viagra.
The same roots can be reused dozens of times, adding the rum, wine and honey.
The preparation is quite simple, but hard-working and every Dominican who can produce it has some little secrets that not confess anything, as with the old recipes of grandmothers!
