Prep Time
5 MINS

Cook Time
20 MINS

  1. 6 cups milk, plus 2 cups
  2. ¾ cup white sugar or piloncillo
  3. 2 cinnamon sticks
  4. 1 cup Mexican chocolate, about 2 ½ discs
  5. 1 cup masa harina

directions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat 6 cups of water to a boil over medium heat with the sugar or piloncillo, if using and cinnamon sticks. Reduce heat, and allow to simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  2. Add the chocolate, and, stirring occasionally, allow to melt completely.
  3. While the chocolate is melting, combine the remaining cups of water and masa harina in a separate bowl. Mix until no lumps remain.
  4. Carefully add the flour mixture to the saucepan with the chocolate, whisking continuously. Return the heat to medium-heat to bring to a boil, then drop back to a simmer once more.
  5. For a traditional, thick consistency, stir constantly at a low simmer for another 10 minutes.
