Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup cacao, nibs
1/2 cup masa harina (do not substitute cornmeal)
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4-1/3 cup honey, to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1/4 teaspoon ground aniseed
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 -4 cinnamon sticks

Steps:

  • Using a coffee grinder or spice mill, grind the cacao nibs as finely as possible-this will take about 30 seconds in a standard electric spice mill.
  • In a bowl, combine the cacao nibs with the masa harina; add in 1 cup milk and whisk to combine; set aside.
  • In a 2-quart nonstick saucepan, combine the remaining 1 ½ cup milk with the honey, ground cinnamon, and salt; place over med-low heat and bring to just a boil, whisking to dissolve the honey.
  • Immediately whisk in the masa harina mixture; bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, whisking often, for about 5 minutes, until the porridge is thick enough to hold very soft peaks with the whisk is lifted out of it.
  • Stir in the vanilla and remove from the heat.
  • Pour into 2-4 warmed cups and insert a cinnamon stick into each one to use as a spoon for the thick drink; serve immediately.

This recipe is very similar to one that I already make. I'm not sure if it's worth trying a new one.

I'm allergic to nuts. Can I substitute another ingredient for the masa?

I followed the recipe exactly, but my drink turned out grainy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This drink is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try it with less masa next time.

The addition of masa to this drink makes it extra special. It gives it a unique flavor and texture that I really enjoy.

This drink is a great way to get your daily dose of antioxidants. It's also a good source of fiber and minerals.

I'm not usually a fan of cacao nibs, but this drink was surprisingly good! The masa mellowed out the bitterness of the nibs and made for a smooth, creamy drink.

This cacao nib masa drink is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day! I love the rich, chocolatey flavor and the slight nuttyness from the masa.
