Notes

How to store and reheat

Place any leftovers in an airtight container. It’ll keep well for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. To reheat, pour the atole in a small stock pot and cook on medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes. Don’t forget to stir, or it will stick to the pot. 
The atole will thicken the longer it sits in the fridge. You might need to add some milk to reheat.
