Creamy Hot Drink (Print Version)
# Ingredients:

2 discs (3 oz each) Mexican chocolate.

4 cups whole milk.

½ cup masa harina.

1 cinnamon stick.
05 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

2 ounces piloncillo.
07 -
⅛ teaspoon fine salt.
08 -
1½ cups warm water.
# Instructions:
01 -
In a pot, mix together cinnamon, milk, chocolate, and piloncillo. Warm gently, stirring often, until everything melts into the milk.
02 -
Take out the cinnamon stick once the mixture is smooth. Strain it if there are any bits.
03 -
Stir together masa harina and warm water until smooth. Add this to the pot with the vanilla and salt.
04 -
Let it gently cook for about 15 to 20 minutes on low heat. Whisk frequently so it doesn’t stick. You’ll know it’s good when it clings to your spoon.

Optional: blend with a hand blender for extra creaminess. Sprinkle a little cinnamon over the top before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Switch to almond or oat milk to make it dairy-free.
