Directions
- Place the akamu pieces in a large bowl, filling it no more than halfway – the akamu will expand during preparation. ≈ 3 min
- Mash the pieces with a spoon and gradually add cold water until you have a smooth mixture, with the consistency of milk concentrate. ≈ 4 min
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Just before, thoroughly mix the ingredients, as the akamu will settle at the bottom. Slowly and steadily pour the boiling water while stirring, and stop when the mixture thickens.
- Whisk thoroughly, and add a little water if the mixture is too thick.
- Add concentrated milk and sugar to your liking. ≈ 3 min
