I live in northwest BRASIL our recipe is very similar but we dont use condensed milk.

[@tonicaangel]

You should try it ....

[@SimplyCaribbean]

Try it next time with condensed milk

[@DrCarr-nb1tf]

Thank you

[@brianramsaran3131]

In the beginning is that plain water or a simple syrup doesn't boil like plain water

[@SimplyCaribbean]

Yes, its plain water, but the lighting was horrible, thank you!

[@DjRickeyRicardo]

Wicked !

[@achanwahn]

I wonder what the would be like with coconut milk

[@SimplyCaribbean]

Its more delicious with coconut milk

[@Lee967_]

@@SimplyCaribbean so would you put coconut milk instead of the condensed milk ?

[@SimplyCaribbean]

@@Lee967_ Replace the coconut milk for the evaporated milk! Condensed milk is for sweetening unless you use something else for the sweetener

[@tiig08]

It says add bay leaves I did not see that in the video when do you add that?

[@SimplyCaribbean]

You add bay leaves at the beginning with the cinnamon stick!

[@bernadettesampson4871]

You need to say what type of corn meal to use and what amount)of water & corn meal and milk to use ‘we all don’t know how to make cord meal porridge

[@SimplyCaribbean]

The measurements are in the description box below

[@jaderobertson6433]
