ChampurradoRecipe

Champurrado is my favorite drink during winter time! It is Mexican hot chocolate. What makes this version of hot chocolate unique is its thickness and richness. I modified the recipe because some of the key ingredients can be difficult to find in Spain. However, it should taste delicious! How to make champurrado: In a pot, add 2 cups of water with one cinnamon stick, 3 ground cloves, and 1⁄2 cup of brown sugar on low heat for about 15 minutes. When it boils, take out the ground cloves and cinnamon stick. Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and a cup of water. Mix. Add 1 cup and a 1⁄2 cup of evaporated milk. Keep mixing until it boils. When it boils, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix it. You can add more cornstarch depending on how thick you want it to be. Instead of cornstarch, you can also use about half a pack of galletas marias that you can mix in a blender with a cup of water and add to the hot chocolate to make it thick. Lastly, add a teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Keep mixing it on medium heat until it all boils. Remove from heat and it’s ready! Enjoy!
