Press the tamarind between your fingers to release the pulp from the seeds into the water. Stir and then strain into another pot, pressing the tamarind pulp through.
Add the piloncillo and baking soda. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Stir in the evaporated milk and the masa harina. Bring to a simmer and cook the atole for 8 minutes, stirring often.
