Atole De Fresa

1. In a small pot, add the strawberries, ½ cup water, sugar and cinnamon.
2. Cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. About 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining of the water. Set aside.
4. In a separate medium pot, add the milk, evaporated milk, baking soda. Heat over medium heat and mix to integrate without bringing it to a boil. Just enough to warm it up. (Stir once in a while to prevent the milk to sticking to the bottom of the pot).

Puree

1. Remove the cinnamon from the strawberries and set aside. To a blender, add the cooled strawberries with all of the juices. Puree for a couple of minutes.
2. Add the strawberries to the pot with the milk and whisk to integrate. Add the cinnamon stick and vanilla extract into the pot as well. Whisk the cornstarch mix and add to the strawberry and milk mixture slowly while whisking the ingredients.
3. Lower heat to medium-low and cook for about 15 minutes while stirring or whisking most of the entire time.
