Ingredients:
1/3 cup masa harina flour
3 cups water, mixed with
2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a mixing bowl combine the masa or masa harina with 1 cup of the water-milk mixture, stirring until smooth.
In a medium saucepan combine the masa mixture, the remaining 4 cups water, and the salt.
Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened to the consistency of thin cooked cereal, 15 to 20 minutes.
Add the chocolate and continue to stir until melted and thoroughly combined.
Optional: Remove from the heat and beat with a whisk, egg beater, handheld electric mixer, or a traditional wooden molinillo.
