Stir in:

  • 1 can of evaporated milk
  • 5 cups of milk

In a frypan heat:

  • 1 cup of instant corn masa flour, constantly moving around the bottom of the pan with a spatula for about 5 minutes until the color of the flour slightly changes.

In a blender at high-speed mix for 20 seconds place:

  • "cooked" masa flour
  • 3 cups of milk

Wisk into the hot chocolate mixture:
