While brewing real corn beer may be to difficult and time consuming. Here is a non-alcoholic version.

                                 

Chicha morada

Chicha morada is not fermented. It is usually made of ears of purple maize (maíz morado) which are boiled with pineapple rind, cinnamon, and clove. This gives a strong purple-colored liquid which is then mixed with sugar and lemon. This beverage is usually taken as a refreshment, but in recent years many health benefits of purple corn have been found.^[3] Chicha morada is Peruvian and is generally drunk as an accompaniment to food.

Malta 

Malta (also called young beer, children's beer, or wheat soda) is a type of soft drink. It is a carbonated malt beverage, meaning it is brewed from barley, hops, and water much like beer; corn and caramel color may also be added. However, malta is non-alcoholic, and is consumed in the same way as soda or cola in its original carbonated form, and to some extent, iced tea in non-carbonated form.

In other words, malta is actually a beer that has not been fermented. It is similar in color to stout (dark brown) but is very sweet, generally described as tasting like molasses. Unlike beer, ice is often added to malta when consumed. A popular way Latin Americans sometimes drink malta is by mixing it with condensed or evaporated milk.

Tea 

Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring boiling hot water over cured leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The term also refers to the plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world.^[3] It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many people enjoy

Malta

Malta drink is a non-alcoholic beverage common in the the Caribbean and Latin America. It is basically unfermented wort. Traditionally, since this was treated as a foodstuff, no adjuncts were added. However, all commercial examples I could find, both in the US and in Cuba now contain Sugar of some kind, generally Molasses but also Cane Sugar. Historically, malta was used as food for children and the sick and has since become a mainstream beverage. Of course, the other soft drink companies have taken market share from Malta, but it is still a very popular drink.

Production of non-fermented beverage from ripe banana

Dehydrated, pulverized ripe banana slices (cv. Gros Michel) were extracted with water, flavoured and pasteurized. Sensory panelists rated the beverage highly for its appearance, thirst-quenching ability and taste. The beverage contained 3.75% vitamin A, 2.08% riboflavin and 3.50% ascorbic acid. Significant differences were observed in the moisture, crude fat, protein, starch, total sugar, reducing sugar and amylose contents of the peel and pulp of ripe and overripe fruits.
