Hi Karolinka,

You are absolutely right, it's a matter of taste. My comment was very general so please discard it. I've been living in US for 2 decades now and I am sick of the "modern" and unhealthy food.

I've been thinking about boza yesterday the whole day and I am pretty sure the real boza must have a short shelf life (1-2 days at room temperature). Last night I couldn't resist and made 2 liters of a very basic boza (braga in Romanian) from 0.5 cups of whole wheat flower (using an easy recipe from the internet). By now (morning) it's already WELL fermented (using dry yeast and some sugar and keeping the pot in a warm place) and I am adding the rest of sugar and stuff the boza in the fridge :-). It has the texture and smell of the real thing. If the final result tastes good I will be making it for about 10-12 cent/liter which is remarkable. The old Romanian saying "ieftin ca braga" (cheap as bosa) seems to be true.

Regards, Geo
