Method

  1. Place the cornmeal in a pot with the water, salt and cinnamon or lemon zest, and cook stirring until it is very thick.
  2. Dissolve the sugar in the milk and add this sweetened milk to the cornmeal.
  3. Cook again for 30 minutes, stirring from time to time so it does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat and add the vanilla, mixing well.
  5. Serve hot or cold.
