A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.
Champurrado – A Mexican Thick Hot Chocolate!
Sofrito Lovers,
It's fudging cold! The cold temps in NYC right now are record breaking and when it's this cold, then it's time for some yummy hot beverages!
Normally, I hate tea, coffee, and hot chocolate because they have a diarrhetic effect on me, but for some reason Mexican Champurrado sits well! For those of you who don't know, Champurrado is a delicious hot chocolate drink made from corn flour, Mexican chocolate, cinnamon, and cane sugar.
It's rich, thick, and has a unique earthy flavor. Maybe, it's the corn flour that keeps me from pooping, I don't know, but whatever it is, I can stomach it and enjoy it thoroughly!
Check out the recipe for Champurrado, from myhumblekitchen.com, below and make yourself a cup of this amazing drink! ¡Que viva Mexico! Go taste for yourself! ¡Buen provecho!

Chocolate has been called the “drink of the Gods”, and the Mexican History books will narrate how it was given to the soldiers to give strength, and how it was a drink reserved for the priests and the wealthy. Even Hernán Cortés wrote to King Carlos I of Spain telling him that he had found a “drink that builds up resistance and fights fatigue.”
