Atole de Guayaba

Winter is right around the corner and with that it comes all types of warm beverages. In my family we love making alotes or any type of tea that will keep up warm. Remember that it doesn’t necessarily have to be winder in order to make the alote, you can make this type of drink any time of the year. Let’s get started. For this drink or as we know it, atole, you will need very few ingredients and these are ingredients that you will most likely already have at home. You will need: milk, guava, maizena or corn starch, water, cinnamon (the stick one not the powder one) and last but not least sugar or any type of sweetener that will provide this atole with sweet flavor. The first thing you have to do is get a sauce. Once you have the sauce pan you will need to add the water with the cinnamon sticks and the guavas (for this you will need approximately two to three guavas and two cups or three of water.) While you have the guavas in the sauce pan, you will need a little bit of water in a cup and then dissolve the maizena in the water. By now the guavas should be done, get them out of the pot and put them in the blender with a little bit of water but without the cinnamon, blend the guavas until you get a pudding consistency. After that put the milk in a pause pan, add the guava pudding, the sugar and steer until you get the consistency that you desire. After all of this is done you have you atole de guayaba ready. Enjoy.
