This is one of the very traditional drinks from Mexico 🇲🇽 which’s actually a variant of their another similar traditional version- That’s known as the ATOLE (A Thick Cornmeal Drink, without any Chocolate in it)

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
