Cremat

 “Cremat” is a drink made from black rum, perfumed with cinnamon, lemon peel and coffee beans. It is prepared in a large earthenware casserole dish where all the ingredients are heated together until the rum ignites and it is left to burn before being served. Although a lot of the alcohol is burnt off during the process, it is a strong drink drunk in winter to keep warm and is traditionally served at Habanera concerts. These customs come from the time when many inhabitants of the area emigrated to Cuba, then Spanish territory, and returned bewitched by the tropical country.
