Ingredients

🍫 1 cup Oaxacan cocoa powder
🍬 1 ½ cups sugar
🥢 1 cinnamon stick
🌽 1 kg masa (corn dough)
💧 4 liters water

Instructions

1- Boil Water:

• In a large blue enamel-coated cooking pot, add 4 liters of water.
• Place it on an electric cooktop to boil.

2- Add Cinnamon Stick:

• As the water begins to heat, add 1 cinnamon stick.
• Allow it to infuse the water with its aromatic flavor.

3- Prepare Masa Mixture:

• In a red plastic bowl, combine 1 kg of masa with a small amount of water.
• Using your hands, work the masa until it dissolves completely into a smooth liquid.

4- Strain Masa Mixture:

• Pour the liquid masa through a blue plastic strainer directly into the pot of boiling cinnamon water.
• This will help remove any particles, ensuring a lump-free beverage.

5- Incorporate Cocoa Powder:

• Once the masa is strained, add 1 cup of Oaxacan cocoa powder to the pot.
• Stir well to blend.

6- Sweeten the Mix:

• Stir in 1 ½ cups of sugar.
• Make sure it fully dissolves in the hot mixture.

7- Cook and Stir:

• Continuously stir the atole with a metal spoon or spatula.
• This is essential to prevent sticking and to achieve the desired thickness as the mixture boils and turns creamy.

8- Serve:

• Once thickened, carefully ladle the hot atole into a brown ceramic mug with floral designs for an authentic touch.
• Serve immediately.
