Atole: Delicious As a Beverage or a Pudding

Atole is so simple to make, and so delicious. Right now I'm using a recipe that is 1 cup masa harina, 3 cups soy milk, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1 tablespoon cinnamon and a cinnamon stick, and 1 tablespoon vanilla. This makes a thicker atole because I like mine to be more of a pudding consistency when it cools. The original recipe I got this from calls for only half a cup of masa harina, which keeps it more like a thick beverage consistency.
