Pour the masa liquid into the simmering hot chocolate. Stir. Simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until the champurrado has thickened. Serve hot!!

If you like your champurrado on the thick side add 1 -2 tbsp. more of masa harina, but remember, the champurrado will continue to thicken as it cools. If you want to use fresh masa, use 1/2 cup of fresh masa diluted in 1 cup of water.
