No Ratings

Ingredients

3 cups of yellow corn or sweet corn
2 cups of water, divided
2 cups whole milk or evaporated milk, divided
¼ cup refined sugar or sugar to taste
Pinch of salt
2 Cinnamon sticks

Instructions

First, with a well-sharpen knife, carefully separate the grains from the ears of corn.
Then, in a medium frying pan place the corn, a cup of water and a cup of milk and boil for 5 or 7 minutes. Mix constantly.
After, transfer the corn, water and milk mixture to a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
In a medium frying pan, pour the liquefied corn mixture through a strainer, making sure to press the pulp against the strainer mesh to release all the liquid from the mixture.
If necessary, return the remaining pulp to the blender and add a little water, beat the mixture and pour the mixture through the strainer. When finished, discard the remaining pulp.
Incorporate the sugar into the atole to taste, the rest of the milk, the rest of the water, cinnamon in sticks and salt. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes over medium heat. Lower the low heat for 5 minutes or until all the ingredients are well mixed and the atol is a bit thick. Be sure to mix frequently.
Remove from heat. Remove cinnamon in sticks, pour into cups and decorate. You can decorate each serving with reserved corn kernels or with cinnamon powder.
