How to Make Cacao Nib Masa Drink
- Finely grind 1/2 cup cacao nibs using a spice grinder or coffee grinder (about 30 seconds).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground cacao nibs and 1/4 cup masa harina.
- Add 1 cup of milk to the cacao-masa mixture and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- In a 2-quart nonstick saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Heat over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the honey is dissolved and the mixture is just simmering.
- Gradually whisk in the reserved cacao-masa mixture until fully incorporated.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, whisking frequently, until the drink thickens to a porridge-like consistency that holds soft peaks when you lift the whisk.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour into two to four warmed mugs. Insert a cinnamon stick into each mug to serve as a stirring spoon.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this historically delicious drink!
