Strain the mixture to remove any lumps, leaving just the liquid.

In a saucepan, add 6 cups of water and bring it to low heat.

Pour the strained corn masa liquid into the saucepan with water and cook on low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid lumps.

After 30 minutes, check the consistency; it should be smooth and thick.

Add half of a can of sweetened condensed milk to the mixture for sweetness, adjusting to taste.

Optionally, add vanilla, cinnamon, or Mexican chocolate for flavor variations.
