Blackberry Masa Drink Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Blackberries

   In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the blackberries are soft.

2. 2

   Strain the Mixture

   Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the blackberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   In the same saucepan, add the strained blackberry juice, the remaining 2 cups of water, sugar, cinnamon stick, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to combine.

4. 4

   Thicken with Masa Harina

   In a separate bowl, whisk the masa harina with a small amount of the blackberry mixture to create a smooth paste. Gradually add this paste back into the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

5. 5

   Cook the Drink

   Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 10 to 15 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from heat, discard the cinnamon stick, and ladle the hot blackberry masa drink into mugs. Enjoy warm!
