Ingredients
- 1 cup Ground Blue Corn Meal
- 1 ¼ cup Purified Water
- 1 cup Milk (Of your choice) I used oat milk
- 1 stick Cinnamon
- 2 cloves Whole
- 2 tbsp Coconut Sugar You can use any sugar of your choice here; traditionally piloncillo is used
Instructions
- Add blue corn meal to a medium to large bowl and whisk in the ¼ cup water.
- Continue whisking until all the lumps are out, set aside.
- In a medium sized soup pan bring 1 cup water and 1 cup milk up to a low boil.
- Once boiling add the cinnamon, cloves and sugar.
- Let the spices cook for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the spices and gradually whisk in the blue corn paste.
- It will thicken very quickly, so stir continuously.
- Cook for 10 minutes.
- The mixture will be the consistency of oatmeal.
- If you would like it thinner (I like to drink it from a cup) add more boiling water until you reach the consistency you’d like.
- You may also add more sugar, milk, or some extra ground cinnamon. Enjoy!
