Thobwa is a Malawian and Zambian fermented drink[1] that has a milky appearance, a cereal taste and a grainy texture.[2] It is made from white maize and millet or sorghum[3] and is popular in all parts of the country.[4] The name thobwa means "sweet beer",[5][verification needed] and although it is non-alcoholic it can be left for five days and it will turn to mowa or beer.[6][failed verification]
