Recipe for Thobwa

1 kg wholegrain maize flour

25 g sorghum flour

25 g sugar (can be more depending on your taste)

5 litres water

Boil four litres of water in a big pot.

Mix (thoroughly) the wholegrain maize flour and the remaining one litre of water.

Add the mixture to the boiling water whilst stirring with a wooden spoon (to avoid the formation of lumps) until the mixture becomes thick and starts boiling.

Cover the pot and allow it to boil for 20 minutes (until it becomes like porridge).

Remove the pot from the fire and allow the porridge to cool for 30 minutes.

Add the sorghum flour to the porridge whilst stirring with a wooden spoon.

Transfer the drink to another pot.

Cover the pot and let it stand for a day.

On the next day, reheat the drink and allow it to boil for five minutes.

Add sugar.

Serve chilled.
