Making champurrado

Ingredients:

11⁄2 litres water
1 cinnamon stick
150g Mexican chocolate or any dark cooking chocolate 50g tortilla masa*
200g of piloncillo or another dark brown sugar

*If you can’t buy fresh tortilla masa, make it yourself using the recipe ​here​.

Instructions:

• Crush the piloncillo sugar and place it in a large saucepan
• Add the chocolate, cinnamon stick and water
• Bring to a simmer over a medium-high heat
• While the mixture is coming to a simmer, combine the tortilla masa with a bit of water until well mixed
• Add the masa mixture to the saucepan, using a sieve to filter out any lumps
• Stir well and continue simmering for another 5-10 minutes while the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally

This is perfect for a chilly, rainy evening. For a creamier version, use a plant-based milk instead of water.
