Instructions
- Place the masa in a large bowl and cover with 2 cups of warm water. With a fork, mash the masa and then begin whisking the mixture until the masa is dissolved and the liquid is smooth, not grainy.If you have a blender, you can speed up this step by blending on high speed for about 30 seconds. Pour the masa mixture back in the bowl if using a blender, and reserve.
- Pour six cups of water into a pot and add the piloncillo. Add the cinnamon stick and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
- Using a whisk or molinillo, a Mexican wooden whisk, stir until the piloncillo has melted—about 10 minutes.
- Once the piloncillo has dissolved, add the chocolate tablets to the pot. Mix until the chocolate melts.
- Next, pour the masa mixture into the pot. Increase the temperature to high heat and stir constantly for about 5 minutes.
Notes
- Substitutions and Additions
- Milk or almond milk for water
