About Mauby bark
Mauby bark is the dried bark used to make mauby, a bitter, aromatic Caribbean drink. It is generally steeped or simmered in water, often with sweeteners and spices, then strained; the bark is not usually eaten as a solid food.
The bark is sold in pieces or strips and may also be supplied cut or powdered. Its infusion is characteristically bitter and woody, with a distinctive aromatic quality. The strength and flavour of the drink depend on the amount of bark and the preparation, so bark and prepared mauby are not interchangeable forms.
