Ingredients:

• 2 Cups water (divided)
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 6 tablespoons corn starch
  

Directions:

1. Mix together the 1 1/2 cups water and sugar in a large saucepan. Turn the heat to medium-high
2. In a small container (such as an old jelly jar) with a good lid, put in 1/2 cup of water and the cornstarch. Shack the jar until the cornstarch is completely mixed in.
3. Once the water comes to a boil, slowly whisk in the cornstarch and the milk.
4. Bring to a boil once again, then reduce the heat to medium-low and keep simmering until the atole has thickened, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
5. Once the atole starts to cool, it will thicken even more.
6. Serve in mugs. Be careful before drinking, as its thick consistency keeps the drink very hot.
