#Wash the grains thoroughly. This is necessary to remove the stones, sand, bad grains, and chaff.
After washing, transfer all the #grains into a bowl, then pour enough water to immerse the grain completely. Cover the bowl and allow the grains to #ferment for 2-3days.
In addition, remember to rinse and change the water every day.
On third day, drain the water out from your grains

Then #blend thoroughly. You might have to go to a local grinding mill to blend if you do not have a powerful blender at home. The end result after blending should be a very, very smooth paste .
Now is the time to use your muslin/chiffon cloth or scarf.
Tie it tightly around your big bowl and then put the bowl on a flat, solid surface.
Scoop a small quantity of the corn paste on the #chiffon cloth. Using your hands and little amount of water, sieve the paste through the chiffon cloth and into the bowl. What you are left with is a murky colloidal solution in your bowl and the chaff sediment left behind on the cloth.
#Sadly, this is where the hard work is; you have to keep sieving until all that is left is a completely dry chaff.
The #pap #paste is sieved with a large muslin or chiffon sloth tied over a bowl
After sieving, remove your chiffon cloth from the bowl and cover the bowl.
#Then leave it for about 3 hours to allow the mixture to settle. Once settled, the thick pap would be at the bottom with clear water on top.
Gently decant the water at the top and stir your pap.
After stirring well, pour the pap into the clean cotton (#salt) bag and wring the top of the bag, squeezing tightly. This would help remove any excess water. To drain it further, tie the bag tightly with a rope and place it on a flat surface or in a sink.
Place a #heavy object on it and leave it overnight to completely drain all the water out.
After all the water has completely drained, untie the bag and viola, your pap is ready! #You can cut it into small serving sizes and preserve it in the freezer in transparent #bags.
