Wait... is the water that you mix with the corn meal part of the water that's been boiled? If not, 3/4 cup I think.

Three quarters of a cup of water should be removed.

In the original recipe, you have 1 cup of cornmeal and 3 cups of water. This means you have a 3 to 1 ratio of water to cornmeal.

In order to have three times as much water as 3/4 cup of cornmeal, you need to multiply 3/4 times 3. The product is 9/4, or 2 1/4 cups of water.

So if you originally had three cups of hot water, and you want to have 2 1/4 cups, you remove 3/4 cup of water.

Looking at that question killed my brain, and I used to be good at maths... good god.
