• 60g masa harina
• 1L water
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 90g Mexican drinking chocolate
• 60g piloncillo or brown sugar
• a pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Whisk the masa harina into 300ml of the cold water until there are no lumps at all — add it to hot liquid and it will seize instantly.
2. Boil the rest of the water with the cinnamon stick, then drop in the chocolate and sugar and stir until melted.
3. Pour the masa mixture in through a sieve, whisking the whole time.
4. Simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring often, until it coats the back of a spoon. It thickens more as it cools.
5. Froth it with a molinillo or a whisk and serve hot.
