Champurrado without lumps
Champurrado is the same hot chocolate with masa stirred through it until a spoon leaves a track. The chocolate half is easy. The masa half has exactly one way to go wrong, and almost everybody finds it the first time.

Ground Chiapas cacao meets milk and ground cinnamon in this pouch. Mexican drinking chocolate is thick, spiced and heavy on cinnamon compared to thin cocoa from a tin. We measure the spice so it shows up the moment the milk warms through. A pot on the stove fills the kitchen with sweet cinnamon and toasted cacao within minutes.
Made for cold mornings and late pots shared around the table.

A serving here is a weight, not a glass. We divide the pouch by the number of servings printed on it, so the grams add up whatever size cup you drink from.
What goes into it
Chiapas cacao and spice
Native Chiapas cacao gives this hot drink its deep chocolate foundation. We blend it with milk and sharp cinnamon. It runs thicker than common tin cocoa and leans hard into the warm spice note that defines drinking chocolate across Mexico.
Working the foam
A turned wooden molinillo spun between your palms builds the thick froth this drink is known for. A standard wire whisk works fine in any small pot. Keep the heat steady and whisk until the surface climbs with foam.
Stirring up champurrado
This blend serves as the foundation for champurrado on cold mornings. Whisk dry masa into cold water first so it turns completely smooth. Pour that slurry into the hot pot. Dry masa dumped straight into hot milk seizes into lumps.
Pouches for your cupboard
We fill a small pouch for occasional cold mornings and a big pouch for larger tables. Keep the bag sealed in the pantry. A few scoops into steaming milk turns out a rich, spiced cup without grating chocolate tablets by hand.
