Mauby is a traditional Caribbean drink made from the bark of the mauby tree and sweetened with sugar. This sugar-free version swaps traditional sugar for a natural sugar substitute, making it a healthier alternative. Mauby is enjoyed for its unique flavor, which is often described as bitter and slightly sweet. It also has potential health benefits, thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties of mauby bark and the oral health benefits of xylitol sugar substitute. Try this recipe for a refreshing and healthy twist on a classic drink.
