Pozol, a traditional Mexican beverage, is a perfect blend of simplicity and nourishment. Made from corn dough mixed with water, it is a refreshing drink often savored as a midday delight. This age-old recipe dates back to the Mayan civilization, where it was consumed for its high energy content. The light sweetness and the unique texture of the corn make it a perfect thirst quencher for hot summer days.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Corn dough (Masa Harina)
1 cup
Water
4 cups
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Sugar (optional)
1-2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, add the corn dough and a small amount of water. Dissolve the dough by stirring until it forms a smooth, lump-free paste.
  2. Gradually add the rest of the water to the paste, while continuing to stir, until it's fully incorporated.
  3. Stir in the salt until it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. If you prefer a sweet Pozol, add sugar to taste and stir well until it's completely dissolved.
  5. Refrigerate the Pozol for at least an hour to allow it to chill and the flavors to mingle.
  6. Before serving, give the Pozol a good stir to ensure the corn dough is evenly distributed.
  7. Serve cold for a refreshing, hydrating, and energy-boosting beverage.
