Guava Atole

Ingredients to make Guava Atole:

1. 6 pieces of guavas
2. 1 cup of water (240 milliliters)
3. 1 cinnamon stick
4. 3 tablespoons of grated piloncillo
5. ½ cup of water (120 milliliters)
6. 2 tablespoons of corn starch
7. 4 cups of milk (960 milliliters)

How to make Guava Atole:

• Wash the guavas, remove the tops and cut them into quarters.
• Cook the guavas in a pot over high heat with water, cinnamon and grated piloncillo until soft.
• Separately, with the help of a fork, mix half a cup of water with the cornstarch and shake until dissolved. Reserve to continue with the preparation of the guava atole.
• Remove the cinnamon from the pot where you cooked the guavas and pass the rest of the preparation to your blender; blend perfectly until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.
• Strain the resulting guava puree over a pot. It is very important that the fruit is fully cooked, crushed and well strained to prevent the guava atole from cutting.
• Pour in the milk, mix and allow it to heat up, add the dissolved corn starch and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
• Serve the guava atole very hot and enjoy it with a rich purslane tamale. Likewise, this drink is perfect to accompany the typical Rosa de Reyes.
