<h2 class="subheader">Warm Corn Drink</h2> <p><em>Atole</em> is a popular hot beverage in Mexico made by steeping brown sugar cane and cinnamon in water, then thickening with corn flour, and adding milk until creamy. This sweet, comforting corn drink has countless variations (some families stir in pureed fruit or chocolate). Here, you will find the classic, yet simple, Mexican-Style <em>Atole</em> that can easily be made at home. For a traditional meal, serve <em>atole</em> is with <em>tamales</em>.
