Athole/Champurada
super easy
Athole is a drink made from masa. The same stuff you use to make corn tortillas and tamales. Sounds weird, huh? It probably is really weird for someone who didn’t grow up drinking it.
Champurada is Athole with chocolate. I like it better with chocolate.
These drinks are served hot and usually with a Gordita to dip in it.
