Atole de avena is a comforting hot Mexican beverage perfect for the chilly Fall and Winter months.
In a pot bring the water and cinnamon stick to a boil.
Once boiling add oats and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the sugar and stir well. Then add the milk and stir again.
Continue to simmer for about 15 minutes or until the atole is nice and hot.
Add the vanilla blend and stir.
Serve and enjoy! Refrigerate any leftover atole once it has cooled.
