El Atole

Más vale atole con risas que chocolate con lágrimas.

Gee willikers, it sure gets cold this month out here, so what better way to counter it than a hot steaming cup of sweet blessings? :y

Atole is a drink made with water and corn flour, and is way different to your average hot cocoa in that it contains a bountiful amount of other flavor spices: vanilla, cinnamon, orange flower and leaves water, fruit pulp, and so on.

It is sweetened by using either honey, piloncillo or sugar; and is a staple of mercados everywhere, where it’s sold early in the morning as a breakfast option to both merchants and customers, being the perfect companion for all kinds of breads like bolillos, conchas and tamales.

If made with wheat or rice instead of corn flour, it supposedly works as a cheeky little remedy for diarrhea and other digestive ailments.

And seriously guys, it’s cold as balls right now.
So I’m gonn’ go get myself one rn - 3-
