MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE ATOLE CHAMPURRADO
I loved this drink growing up. It is very delicious and great on a cold chilly day. My Mexican grandmother used to make this for us when I was a kid, and now I make it for my kids. Very delicious. Serve hot, alone or you can top with whipped cream and dust some cinnamon over it. Sugar can also be less or more, suited to taste.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine 8 cups of the water and cinnamon; bring to a boil.
- Place the remaining water and masa harina in a blender; cover and blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the cinnamon-water mixture.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low; cook, stirring constantly with wire whisk for 6 to 7 minutes or until thickened.
- Stir in sugar, chocolate and vanilla extract.
- Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes or until chocolate is melted and flavors well blended.
Tips:
- To make the perfect champurrado, start with masa harina. It's a finely ground cornmeal that gives the drink its unique texture and flavor.
- Use a good quality chocolate. Mexican chocolate, with its rich and spicy flavor, is the traditional choice, but you can use semisweet or dark chocolate if you prefer.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are all popular additions to champurrado, but you can also try adding chili powder, allspice, or ginger.
- Don't overheat the milk. If the milk gets too hot, the chocolate can seize and become grainy.
- Serve champurrado immediately, while it's still hot and frothy.
Conclusion:
Champurrado is a delicious and versatile drink that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's perfect for a cold winter day or a special occasion. Whether you make it with Mexican chocolate or semisweet chocolate, with spices or without, you're sure to enjoy this traditional Mexican hot chocolate.
