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.
