Directions

  1. Place the akamu pieces in a large bowl, filling it no more than halfway – the akamu will expand during preparation. ≈ 3 min
  2. 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
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  4. 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.
  5. Whisk thoroughly, and add a little water if the mixture is too thick.
  6. Add concentrated milk and sugar to your liking. ≈ 3 min
