Sikaicha

Sikaicha, also sometimes spelled "Sikaica," is a fermented millet beer traditionally brewed and consumed in various regions of Nepal, particularly within Limbu communities. It is a significant part of Limbu culture and is often served during celebrations, religious ceremonies, and social gatherings. Sikaicha is typically prepared using finger millet (kodo), which is fermented and then mixed with hot water before consumption. The resulting beverage is opaque, slightly sour, and has a notable alcoholic content. The taste and potency can vary depending on the fermentation process and the specific recipe used.
