Instructions
- Strip the kernels from the corn cobs and blend them with 200 ml of water to obtain a smooth purée.
- Pass the purée through a sieve to remove the coarsest skins.
- In a saucepan, pour in the purée and the milk, then add the cinnamon stick, cloves and salt.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often with a wooden spoon so the bottom doesn't stick.
- Add the brown sugar and let it simmer over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes, until the mixture thickens and coats the spoon.
- Remove the cinnamon and cloves, then serve hot in bowls.
Variations and tips
Cold version. Let the chapa cool, then keep it in the fridge; it will set to a creamy texture.
