Description
Four small mugs of gently thickened vanilla-cinnamon masa drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Cool water
- 1/3 cup Masa harina
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon Fine salt
Instructions
- Whisk 1/3 cup masa harina into 1 cup cool water until smooth and free of visible dry pockets. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, warm 3 cups whole milk, 1/4 cup sugar, one cinnamon stick and 1/8 tsp salt over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, about five minutes.
- Whisk the masa slurry again, then pour it gradually into the warm milk while whisking. Keep heat low enough for a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, and whisk frequently, scraping the bottom.
- Cook approximately 15–20 minutes until the mixture loses a raw-flour taste and lightly coats a spoon. If it thickens more than intended, record the consistency in the trial rather than assuming an unmeasured splash of liquid.
- Remove the cinnamon stick, stir in 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and ladle into four provisional small cups. Let stand briefly before sipping; verify final volume, thickness and sweetness in a kitchen test.
