Nectar of the frogs

A popular recipe from the streets of Peru:

-three ladles of hot bean broth
-two generous spoonfuls of honey
-raw aloe vera plant
-several tablespoons of maca (a root believed to boost stamina and sex drive)

Place ingredients into a household blender
and then drop in one dead frog.

The resulting "frog juice" is "a starchy, milkshake-like liquid" that is said "to cure asthma, bronchitis, sluggishness and a low sex drive."
