    Tried the "Atole '' from Mexico hot and cold. I preferred the cold version. It tasted like a chilled runny pudding lightly sweetened. Not too heavy, but not bad for a drink from a sachet.

    Not heard of this. I'll have to look for it.

    Theres nothing better than making it homemade to get that flavor and perfectly made.

      I made it myself homemade. The taste is very different, much better. The powdered stuff kept clumping together.

    Those processed Atole packages are full of artificial flavors. It doesn’t take much longer to make homemade atole which is 1000 times more delicious. Like gin, you can create your own flavor recipes once you have the basics. I’m Mexican and we think of those packages as the junk food version. Do yourself a favor and have authentic atole from a Mexican grandmother. Heaven!

      Yeah it really wasn't good, I regret buying so many of those instant atole mixes. I am going to take your advice and make it with real corn.

      @@MissBrewbirdThere’s a corn starch version and precolombian corn version. The corn starch version is like the texture you get in those packets but you add your own natural flavors. You can pretty much experiment since it’s a flovorless base. The corn masa version is best as the authentic Mexican chocolate version.

    Instead of buying “flavored” atole, purchase a bag of blue corn masa flour. Simmer cinnamon sticks in milk and add the blue corn flour slurry. You’ll get the corn flavor and texture that you may be looking for; with a natural cinnamon flavor. You can add sugar and cream if you want. True comfort. This is how my mom made atole and how I make it today.

    Question: How good is Cornstarch as an additive to the base fermentation mash, to lead to the distillation of Bourbon?

    • @MissBrewbird
      @MissBrewbird  Год назад +2

      That's a good question. I have never contemplated the use of cornstarch for a bourbon. I've looked into it and a lot of people say it produces a tasteless distillate but can help raise the abv if that's what you are after. I suppose you could put it in as an additive, but keep in mind that cornstarch is used as a thickener in cooking, so it could make the mash super thick to work with (ie harder to work with). Also, it clumps up easily, so I would make a slurry with it before adding it to the mash.

      @@MissBrewbird Thanks for the reply, but that brings to mind another question, if Cornstarch creates a tasteless distillate, what element of the Corn actually creates that sweet corn flavour found in Bourbon?

    • @MissBrewbird
      @MissBrewbird  Год назад +1

      There are a lot of esters such as ethyl octanoate (apple) and isoamyl acetate (banana), as well as aldehydes and ketones that impact flavour. The cask also has flavour compounds which impact the final flavour of the bourbon. So it is not just one element that creates the flavour found in bourbon.

    I got me three bags out of curiosity. I added a cup of boiling milk as instructed.
    What I got was more like grout for tile, sticky, gunky, and simply impossible to drink.
    I poured it down the drain, and even there, it was impossible to drain. I picked it up from the strainer and dumped in the garbage. By the way, the one I'm talking about was the chocolate version. My score: -10 👎
