INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups water (separated)
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground cloves (to taste)
- 2 tbsp sugar (to taste)
- ⅓ cup evaporated milk (to taste)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Bring 1 ½ cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- While water is boiling, mix together ½ cup water, corn starch, cinnamon, and cloves in a small bowl. Set aside.
- When water is boiling hard, pour corn starch paste in to boiling water, stirring constantly.
- Lower heat to "low" and stir in sugar.
- Let boil about 5 minutes or until it is clear-ish looking, stirring constantly.
- Pour in to cups and add milk to taste.
NOTES
Use as much (or as little) sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and evaporated milk as you like. I don't think I ever make this the same way more than once!
You'll see recipes made with "masa harina," but Zene always used corn starch, so that's what I use.
