Ingredients

1/2 cup masa harina para tortillas

3 cups water, plus more as needed

1 cup milk

3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, broken into pieces

3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

1 cinnamon stick or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Kosher salt

Directions

In a large saucepan, add masa and set over medium heat. Immediately add water in a slow, thin stream while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and whisk in milk, chocolate, brown sugar, and a generous pinch of salt until chocolate is melted, about 1 minute. Add cinnamon. Return to a simmer and lower heat to low. Continue to simmer gently, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick, if using. Thin with additional water, as needed, to create a thick-yet-drinkable hot beverage , reheating as necessary. Taste, adding more sugar or salt if desired. Froth with a whisk or immersion blender, then ladle into mugs, and serve.
