- 2 C water
- 3 C milk we use raw milk but you can use any full fat
- 1 piloncillo
- 1.5 C. old fashioned oats
- 1 Mexican cinnamon stick
Cut the piloncillo into small pieces.
Add the piloncillo to the water in a stockpot and allow it to dissolve on low heat.
Add the cinnamon and oats to the mixture, and stir in well. Use 1 C. of oats for a thinner drink, and 1 1/2 for a thicker drink.
Bring to a boil over medium, reduce the heat, and then cover and allow the mixture to thicken (10 minutes).
Once oats have absorbed much of the water, then add in the milk and stir to combine well.
Simmer until the atole reaches the consistency you are looking for.
