Champurrado - Mexican Hot Chocolate image

A rich and creamy drink made from Mexican chocolate, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and thickened with masa harina. We had this for Christmas and again with breakfast the next morning--delicious! From my son in law, Greg. Recipe is a combo of his sister Vicki's recipe and his mother's more traditional recipe, and we love it! For adults, you can add a splash of Grand Marnier liqueur to your mug of hot chocolate, if desired.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my champurrado turned out grainy. I'll have to try again.

I'm not a fan of chocolate, but I still enjoyed this champurrado. It's very flavorful.

I didn't have any cinnamon sticks, so I used ground cinnamon instead. It still turned out great.

This champurrado is a little too sweet for me. I'll probably use less sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the almond milk for oat milk. It turned out great!
