Sift the wood ashes to remove large chunks, ensuring a fine sift for the nixtamalization process.

Use a corn sheller to shell the corn, demonstrating the process with about three spins for each batch.

Prepare to nixtamalize the corn by boiling water in a pot.

Add the corn to the boiling water and let it boil for about 10 minutes before adding the ashes.
