Pozol

Ingredients

• 1 cups masa harina
• 6 cups water – cold
• ice cubes – for serving

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the masa harina with 2 cups of the cold water. Knead with your hand until a smooth, cohesive dough forms and no dry flour remains, 2–3 minutes.
2. Gradually whisk in the remaining 4 cups cold water until the masa dissolves and the liquid is evenly milky with no lumps.
3. Let the mixture rest 10 minutes to fully hydrate, then whisk again to re-suspend any settled solids.
4. For a smoother texture, strain through a medium‑mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing gently with a spoon; whisk once more to combine.
5. Serve in cups over ice cubes if desired. Stir before pouring and between sips, as the masa naturally settles.
