Instructions

Check masa harina (cooked by simmering) is food-grade; fully cook raw cereal or grain flour according to package directions before consumption.
In a saucepan whisk the grain component into water and simmer 10–15 minutes, stirring, until fully cooked and no raw-flour taste remains.
Add milk, sugar and cinnamon, then simmer 3–5 minutes, stirring often; thin with hot water if the mixture is too thick to pour.
Blend briefly for a smooth texture if appropriate, then divide between two mugs or chill promptly to serve cold.

Tips

Grain or flour components must be cooked thoroughly; dry flour should never be consumed raw.
Perishables must not sit at room temperature longer than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).
