Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Mixture
In a medium saucepan, add water, milk, Mexican chocolate discs, and the cinnamon stick. Place the saucepan over medium heat and let the mixture come to a simmer.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the masa harina and 1 cup of water until the flour is dissolved and there are no lumps.

Add granulated sugar to the saucepan and continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved and the champurrado has thickened slightly.
Step 5: Add the Final Touch
Remove the cinnamon stick from the saucepan and stir in the vanilla extract for an added depth of flavor.
