This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a bit of a kick.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my champurrado turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked the masa harina.

I would have liked the recipe to include more detailed instructions on how to make the masa harina paste. I had to do some research online to figure it out.

This champurrado was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was very good. I liked the texture and the flavor of the chocolate.

This champurrado was a hit at my holiday party! Everyone loved the rich, chocolatey flavor and the hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. It was the perfect drink to warm us up on a cold winter day.
