▢
1
Mexican dark chocolate tablet
(about 3 oz)
▢
½
cup
masa harina
▢
4
oz
piloncillo
(or ½ cup brown sugar)
▢
1
cinnamon stick
▢
4
cups
milk
▢
2 ½
cups
water
Instructions
Add the piloncillo, cinnamon stick, and chocolate to a medium pot.
Pour 2 ½ cups of water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Set the heat to medium-low and simmer for 6-7 minutes while stirring to help dissolve the piloncillo and chocolate.
Place 2 cups of milk in a mixing cup and add the masa harina. Whisk to combine.
Now, slowly and while stirring, pour the masa harina mixture into the pot with the infused water.
Add also the remaining milk to the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes stirring constantly, until the mixture is slightly thick.
Adjust sweet to taste and turn off the heat.
Allow the champurrado to sit for 5 minutes while stirring from time to time then serve in mugs.
Notes
To prevent lumps in the champurrado, make sure you add the masa harina mixture slowly while whisking.
Cook the champurrado mixture on low to medium heat and stir constantly to prevent sticking or burning.
You can use milk, water, or a combination of both. Using milk will result in a creamier drink, while water will make it lighter.
If the beverage is too thick for your liking, you can adjust the consistency with more milk or water.
