🧂 材料

2 cups Maize meal (mealie meal)(for fermentation)
3 cups Water(for fermentation)
1 liter Water(boiling, for cooking)
1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
200 ml Sour milk(for serving (optional))
2-3 tbsp Peanut butter(for serving (optional))
to taste Sugar(for serving (optional))

👨‍🍳 作り方

1
To ferment the maize meal: Place 2 cups of maize meal in a sealable container. Add 3 cups of water, mix well, cover, and leave at room temperature for 5-7 days. Stir daily. The mixture will become sour and develop a frothy layer.
⏱️ 5-7 days
💡 プロのコツ: Warmer temperatures speed up fermentation. If it's cold, it might take longer.
2
Once fermented, drain off any excess water or froth from the top of the maize mixture. This fermented maize is your 'sour maize ferment'.
💡 プロのコツ: The smell should be pleasantly sour, not putrid.
3
In a pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil. Add salt.
4
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Gradually add the sour maize ferment to the boiling water, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
💡 プロのコツ: Adding the ferment slowly while whisking is crucial for a smooth consistency.
5
Continue to cook and whisk for about 15-20 minutes, or until the porridge reaches your desired consistency. It should be smooth and drinkable, not too thick.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes
💡 プロのコツ: If it becomes too thick, add more boiling water. If too thin, cook a little longer.
6
Serve the bota warm. It can be enjoyed plain, or with additions like a swirl of sour milk, a dollop of peanut butter, or a little sugar.
