Bebida de Atole

Bebida de Atole is a comforting, warm Mexican drink made from masa harina, flavored with rich spices and sweetened to perfection. This dairy-free version offers a creamy texture and delicious flavor, making it a perfect brunch treat.

Ingredients

• Masa harina - 50 grams
• Water - 500 milliliters
• Cinnamon stick - 1
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Brown sugar - 2 tablespoons
• Nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water and cinnamon stick to a gentle boil over medium heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix the masa harina with a little bit of the boiling water to create a smooth paste, ensuring there are no lumps.
3. Gradually add the masa harina paste back into the saucepan while stirring continuously to avoid clumping.
4. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, brown sugar, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
6. Strain the drink through a fine mesh sieve into mugs, discarding the cinnamon stick, and serve warm.
