The traditional New Mexico way is with milk and salt. To this day I still order Atole and have it sent to me in Ca. I absolutely love it. It's not made as a drink either. It's made like oatmeal, thick and you have to et with a spoon. Delicious! I come from Bernalillo, NM and I grew up with atole but have never heard of anyone making it sweet.

Atole is blue corn and chaquegue is a whitish corn. I know because I grew up eating both and we sell both meals at El Potrero in Chimayo, New Mexico.

Recently I came across a packet from Fernandez foods. Here is the recipe that I use 2 cups cold water 1 cup cold milk whisk in 1 level cup of Blue Corn Meal 1/8 tsp salt 1/4 cup sugar Make sure the meal is dissolved completely before turning the burner on to about a med. to medium high heat. you need to stir constantly til the mix comes to a boil. Be careful of the cereal splashing cause it does burn. serve in a mug or cereal bowl. The porridge will be very thick similar to cream of wheat but not as grainy. Add 1 tsp of butter per serving so it melts in, then pour a splash of cold milk to cool & thin a bit. The cereal should not be too thick nor too thin. ENJOY!

Unlike most recipes or articles I've seen about it being served sweet (I've never had it that way). We always had it with milk and salt. Most old families from New Mexico that I know have it with salt. Atole, I think, is delicious but I grew up with it.

My mother used to make it for me when I was sick she would bring to a boil 1 cup of milk and mix in the blue corn flour until it had a malt o meal consistency and add salt for taste.

As for it being healing I wouldn't know, but you really should try it!
