👨‍🍳 조리법

1
If using dried purple corn, rinse it thoroughly. If using fresh or frozen, rinse as well.
2
In a large pot, combine the corn, 8 cups of water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise.
3
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes, or until the corn is very tender and has released its color.
4
Remove the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. Add the lemon and orange zest.
5
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender (in batches), blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. For a very smooth texture, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve, but this is optional.
6
Return the blended mixture to the pot. Stir in the sugar and heat gently until the sugar is dissolved and the api is heated through. Do not boil.
7
Serve hot. Api Api is traditionally served with buñuelos (fried dough fritters) or a piece of cheese.
