Today I'm sharing one of our favorite versions of hot chocolate: champurrado - Mexican chocolate atole. Filipinos have a dish called champurrado, too, but it is completely different.

Ingredients

  • 6 C milk
  • 1 C unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 C organic granulated sugar
  • 1 C masa harina
  • cinnamon sticks for garnish

Procedure
Whisk the milk, cocoa powder, and sugar together until smooth. Bring to a simmer. Whisk in the masa and cook until thickened. Serve in mugs with cinnamon sticks.

When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.

The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems !
