Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of bulgur wheat
4 cups of water
½ cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of active dry yeast
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Peeled roasted chickpeas
Optional: vanilla extract or orange blossom water
Instructions
Soak the Bulgur: Start by placing your bulgur wheat in a bowl and covering it with warm water. Let it soak for about an hour to soften.
Blend it Up: After the bulgur has soaked, drain it and toss it into a blender. Add 4 cups of clean water. Blend until everything is smooth and creamy.
Cook the Mixture: In a large pot, pour your blended mixture over medium heat. Keep stirring gently as it heats up to avoid any lumps.
Add Yeast and Sugar: Once thickened, remove from heat and dissolve the sugar and yeast into the mixture. Stir well to combine.
Let it Ferment: Cover the pot with a clean cloth and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 6 to 8 hours.
Serve It Up: After fermenting, transfer your boza to individual cups. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a few roasted chickpeas.
