  • Atole de Avena can be made a day ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Then, when you're ready to serve, reheat the Atole on the stovetop or in the microwave; remember that Atole becomes quite thick under refrigeration, so you may want to thin it with some milk or water before reheating.
