Mauby

A stocky, well-dressed woman sells mauby in the bustle of the city as horse-drawn carriages go by, almost fifty years ago. She sells the mauby from a canister balanced on her head, and when she pours the customer the beastly cold drink, not a drop of mauby gets on her. Perfection! Mauby has been around a long time. It is a drink made from the bark of the mauby tree, a type of buckthorn. This beverage is well suited to the heat, as it is sweet and then very bitter. I never liked mauby
