Mexican Hot Chocolate Drink Recipe
Mexican hot chocolate features a distinctive flavor unlike the typical cocoa of Europe or the U.S. Made from chocolate disks pre-seasoned with sugar, cinnamon and almond flavor, the beverage is warmed to a simmer, then whisked vigorously before serving.
Ingredients
| 4 | cups | whole milk |
| 2 | disks | Mexican chocolate |
| ~ | cinnamon sticks, for decoration |
| *A standard kitchen whisk works fine here, but many Mexican cooks prefer to use a molinillo – a wooden implement designed specifically for the task. You can find a molinillo online at www.mexgrocer.com, or check out your local Hispanic market. |
