Wash and soak millet overnight.
Rinse and add ginger, dried red chilli, cloves, black peppercorn and blend into a smooth mixture.
Strain twice with a fine silk mesh, cover and let sit to set for 4 hours or more so the liquid submerges and the paste settles at the bottom.
Drain the liquid and set aside.
Mix the residue with cold water or the drained fermented water and set aside.
Bring about 500ml water to a boil.
Take off the heat and place on a rack.
Add the residue mixture and stir continuously to prevent lumps and until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the ladle.
