      Utterly delicious! The masa harina makes such a special flavour and texture. For the milk I used almond milk, and I used a piloncillo for sugar which I dissolved in the hot milk. Really easy, and soooo goood :) Thanks for posting!!

      Soooo good, I usually buy Champurrado in the morning but the place I buy from has been making it more and more watered down, this was perfect, I'm making my own from now on....thanks.

      This had a really good flavor, but not as good as those made with Mexican Chocolate (Ybarra bars in the yellow box). I scaled this back for two and it might have made a difference in that mine came out a bit too thick and I had to whisk and then pass thru a sieve to get the lumps out. Next time, I'll probably incorporate the cinnamon and sugar in the chocolate milk part of the process, then add the masa harina paste directly to the warm chocolate milk until thickened. All said and done, this WAS very good and brought back memories of childhood in Mexico and hispanic barrios in San Diego.
