If you're looking for a warm and comforting drink that's a little different than your usual hot chocolate, try Champurrado With Honey (Mexican Hot Chocolate). This traditional Mexican drink is made using mexican chocolate, which is a unique blend of cocoa powder, sugar and cinnamon. Masa harina flour, or corn flour, is also added to give it a thicker consistency. Honey replaces sugar as a natural sweetener, and it brings a more complex sweetness to the drink than regular sugar would. Champurrado is typically consumed during Day of the Dead, a holiday that celebrates the lives of those who have passed away. But you don't need a special occasion to enjoy this delicious drink. So grab a mug and cozy up with a warm cup of champurrado today!

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, add the cinnamon stick, mexican chocolate and masa harina flour.
2.	Pour in 2 cups of milk and mix well until there are no lumps.
3.	Over low-medium heat, gradually pour in the remaining 8 cups of milk, stirring constantly to prevent burning or sticking.
4.	Add 2 cups of pure honey, mix together and continue to cook for 20 minutes until the champurrado is thick and creamy.
5.	Serve hot and enjoy!
