تعريف ومعنى "atole"

What is "atole"?

Atole is a traditional Mexican beverage that is made from masa harina (corn flour), water or milk, and sweeteners such as sugar or cinnamon. The mixture is heated and stirred until it thickens and becomes smooth, resulting in a thick and creamy drink with a slightly grainy texture. Atole comes in a variety of flavors, including vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, and fruit flavors. It is often enjoyed as a breakfast or dessert beverage, and is sometimes served alongside tamales or other traditional Mexican dishes. Atole is believed to have warming properties and is often consumed during the cooler months. It is a staple of Mexican cuisine and has a long history dating back to pre-Columbian times.
