Hi Rev. Pete El Mercado Latino at Pike Place Market, right at the corner of Post Alley, carries Mauby Syrup. There is also a Latino Market in Bellevue which carries the syrup as well. You can make the drink by brewing if you want a more original and complex taste.

Remember people that mauby can be added with milk similar to when you make tea.
Also you can have it hot as well as cold.
DIRECTIONS: Mix 1 part syrup with 2 parts water 2 parts milk or as required then heat up in pot.
Do not bring to boil for you may lose some of the flavour (comfortable hot). Alternativly bring the water in a kettle to aboil then add to other ingredients.
The mauby bark is the foundation of hundreds of ways to make this refreshing drink.
Don’t be afraid to experiment. Cheers!!!!

I love the Mavi drink, but the only time I ever get to drink it is when I go to Puerto Rico. I live in Washington state. I’m so glad I ran into your site loking for places to get the tree bark. I found out on your site that its actually “mauby” tree bark. Now I can actualy find. I’ve asked several health food stores but no one has ever heard of mavi. Mabe now I have better luck.

¡Hola, mavi aficionados…I have always loved mavi, always bought it ready-made in the plaza. Now to my question: since sugar and yeast + ingredients ferment, how much sugar is really left in the mavi? I am asking because of type II diabetes. Thanks, Cesar.

That is interesting: fennel seed instead of sugar in mauby.
I cannot find out how to use it though – how much fennel seed for example in the recipe given?
Tried the recipe without marjoram and yeast. Yummy!
