Add 1/3 cup Masa Harina to a saucepan along with 1 cup warm water and a pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously to prevent lumps from forming.

Over medium heat, add 2.5 cups of milk, 1 disc Mexican chocolate, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. I usually chop up the chocolate into smaller pieces so it melts faster.

Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to maintain a quiet simmer, whisking frequently. Once the chocolate has melted take a final taste for seasoning, adding more sugar if you want.
