Malt has Barley so it is much thicker...this is more like a lighter version made of corn and sugar...

[@MsVictory2000]

Is it a muslin cloth you are taking about, that they use to strain it? Thank you for the recipe. And please what is the name of the song that you play in the background? I really like it even though I don't understand it.

[@AdomHomeCooking]

Yea, a muslin can do the job. Thanks. The song is by Wulomei and the track is Meridian.

[@MsVictory2000]

AdomHomeCooking Thank you. I just learned something new. I wasn't aware of Wulomei dance and music and all that. The music is really nice.

[@hajiaayishetu319]

Pls where did you buy your crushed corn 🌽 from the Africian market or where because I want to make one so badly

[@AdomHomeCooking]

Yes dear, from Ghanaian shops, or Nigerian.

[@nanaadwoaagyemanprempeh9208]

CRUSHED CORN WHERE DO I GET IT FROM PLEASE

[@8thsinner]

I am researching the Tarahumara and the corn drink they often consume. Is this recipe adaptable to other sugars? for example honey? Sweet fruit mixes like a smoothie. Is the sugar here purely for flavour? Or is there a chemical process taking place?

[@harrieta5582]

I know I'm late but just in case you still need the answer...the main chemical process is in the fermentation if the corn. The Sugar is partly for flavour, on the other hand, it must be boiled until it attains a caramel colour, which gives the drink the colour shown on the thumbnail. But as long as you use enough honey to override the taste of the fermented corn, you are good to go.

[@joepaul2248]

Please what do you mean by crashed corn? I'm totally embarrassed asking this but I'm new to cooking - Guy

[@AdomHomeCooking]

Haha , not to worry, no one knows it all. its just the normal corn (dried) but its broken into smaller pieces.

[@illa4u]

AdomHomeCooking did you buy the crushed corn from the shop? or did you make it yourself?

[@AdomHomeCooking]

It was already crushed. (ps you can ask them if they have the one for oblayo or ekoebeme)

[@kelolin4352]

What type of corn did you use, was it regular dry corn

[@AdomHomeCooking]

kelo lin yea normal regular corn just dried and crushed.

[@afiaboateng9275]

Alternatively use muslin to strain

[@elpadroni]

That is actually what she's trying to describe.

[@pintomufc8772]

pls mine tasted bitter. i think to have this colour, the sugar should be dark burnt and gives it a bitter taste. can you kindly help me rectify the problem.

[@elpadroni]

reduce the heat. The sugar should caramelize, not burn.

[@rameco89]

thanks so much for the video....can you plss help me out with Lamudji (ginger drink)

[@AdomHomeCooking]

Hello rameco89, thanks will be showing it soon. cheers

[@bettylartey7920]

Adom! U always in the lead. Actually the sugar is caramel . am gonna try

[@thedestinyschild]

Hello, is this what is called Elewonyo?

[@akosuaish]

i was asking the same thing because i love that drink

[@preachingjesusrepentorperi9352]

I think its same as pinto that women sells in a big pot of calabash

[@jessicasackey1262]

Please its not the same as pinto.. Pinto is gotten from the tree,... The water is den fermented its not mixed with anything

[@motivatedandinspired]

Good work but just so you know,this is not the original recipe because Am an Evé girl and I know it as this was what my mum makes for us instead of buying us fanta and cook! Ndudu by fafa neither showcased the original version! Again,not attacking Just sharing
