Atole
Atole
Atole is a traditional Mexican drink that is delicious and warm. It is made from masa (corn dough) mixed with water or milk, sweetened with sugar, and flavored with ingredients like vanilla, cinnamon, or chocolate.
Ingredients
- 4 cups milk (you can use any kind of milk you prefer)
- 1/2 cup masa harina (corn dough)
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to your desired sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
- 1 Pinch salt
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat 3 cups of milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Add the cinnamon stick if you’re using it and let it infuse the milk for a few minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the masa harina with the remaining 1 cup of milk until the dough dissolves and there are no lumps.
- Slowly pour the masa mixture into the simmering milk, stirring continuously to avoid any clumps from forming.
- Add the sugar and salt to the mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the Atole simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Remove the cinnamon stick (if used) and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the Atole into mugs or cups and serve it warm. You can sprinkle some cinnamon on top or even add a pinch of cocoa powder for a delicious twist.
