Atole is a traditional warm drink from Guatemalan cuisine made from masa (corn dough), flavored with cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla, or other spices, and sweetened with sugar or honey. It is thickened with masa harina, which gives it a creamy texture. Atoles are typically served as a breakfast drink or as a dessert, often accompanied by sweet bread or tamales. They are made by dissolving the masa harina in milk, sweetening and flavoring the mixture, and heating it until it thickens. The result is a warm, comforting, and satisfying drink that is a staple of Guatemalan cuisine.
