Atole De Pechita (Gila River Pima)
(We like to call this Mesquite Milk, because the preparation is similar to making soy milk)
* 1/2 lbs dry washed, broken up Mesquite pods
* Cover with water in a pot and bring to a boil,
* reduce heat, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours
* Separate pods and liquid by straining
* Grind strained pods in a food processor (Hard pits will not break up, which is ok)
* Mix ground up pods back with liquid
* Simmer for 1/2 to 1 hour
* Remove and disard pits and remaining pods by straining liquid.
* Sweeten and flavor remaining liquid as you like
