Directions:
1. Place 6 cups of water in a saucepan along with the piloncillo and the cinnamon stick. Heat water until it starts boiling and then reduce the heat and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes until the piloncillo has melted/ If you are using regular sugar, this step will take less time, since the sugar will dissolve in about 4-5 minutes.

2. Once the piloncillo or sugar has dissolved, add the 2 Mexican Chocolate Tablets and allow about 5 minutes to dissolve, stirring from time to time.

3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, pour the other 2 cups of water and mix in the masa harina. Mix well with an egg beater, if possible avoid forming any clumps/ If you want to be sage and avoid masa harina clumps. use a strainer to pour the mixture.

4. When the chocolate has completely dissolved, slowly pour the masa harina mixture into the saucepan while stirring, to make sure there are no clumps. If you want to be safe and avoid masa harina clumps use a strainer to pour the mixture.

5. Turn the heat to medium -high until the Champirrado starts boiling, and then reduce the heat to low and gently simmer, stirring constantly. After 6 or 7 minutes the mixtue will thicken, Allow to cook for 5 minutes. Be careful while serving it's thick consistency keeps the drink extremely hot.

Personal Notes:
This is a Hispanic hot drink, personally I don't think my kids will like it. I didn't start enjoying this until I married Javier. I know Josie, and Dian enjoy it. Not sure my babies will like it. Goes really good with tamales. Enjoy.
