Guava Atole Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of whole milk (or whatever you prefer)
- ½ cup of sugar
- 1 stick of cinnamon
- 8 tablespoons of cornmeal
- 2 cups of water
- 2 ½ cups guava, cut in half
Directions:
Mix the milk, sugar and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and cook over medium heat and simmer.
In a small bowl mix the cornmeal with a cup of water and stir well to avoid any lumps.
Once the milk comes to a boil, slowly whisk in the cornflour mix and bring to a boil again. Then, reduce heat to medium-low and keep simmering until thickened for about 8 minutes.
Stir occasionally.
Place the guavas in a blender along with a cup of water and process until you have a smooth puree. Strain to remove the seeds.
Add the guava puree to the atole and mix well. Cook for about 10 more minutes.
Do not add the fruit puree until the atole is almost cooked, otherwise the milk will curdle.
Be careful when drinking the atole, it is a thick drink that keeps the heat longer.
You can store the atole in the fridge for several days.
