Champurrado (Mexican Hot Chocolate And Corn Drink).
Recipe.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup masa harina para tortillas
3 cups water, plus more as needed (see note)
1 cup milk
3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, broken into pieces
3 TBSPs dark brown sugar
1 cinnamon stick or 1/4 TSP ground cinnamon
Kosher salt

Recipe Instructions:

In a large saucepan, add masa and set over medium heat.
Immediately add water in a slow, thin stream while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Bring to a simmer and whisk in milk, chocolate, brown sugar, and a generous pinch of salt until chocolate is melted, about 1 minute.
Add cinnamon.
Return to a simmer and lower heat to low.
Continue to simmer gently, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes.
Discard cinnamon stick, if using.
Thin with additional water, as needed, to create a thick-yet-drinkable hot beverage (the exact consistency is a matter of personal taste, see note), reheating as necessary.
Taste, adding more sugar or salt if desired.
Froth with a whisk or immersion blender, then ladle into mugs, and serve.
This.
