Yield 1½ quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 cups water
3 ounces piloncillo, coarsely chopped, or ⅓ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
½ cup sugar
1 cup fresh masa, or 1 cup masa harina mixed with ½ cup of hot water
1½ cups fresh blackberries

Steps:

  • In a saucepot over high heat, bring the water to a boil with the piloncillo and sugar until they are dissolved. Add the masa and whisk so it dissolves and doesn't form any lumps. Let thicken.
  • Purée the blackberries in a food processor, add to the mixture, and cook for a couple of minutes; do not boil too long or the drink will lose color and that fresh blackberry flavor. Enjoy it while it's warm. If you have any left over it will thicken quite a bit; you can store it in the refrigerator and simply add a bit of water to the mixture when you reheat it.
