Mexican Hot Chocolate!

Have you ever had it??

You must try it.

I think it is the best hot chocolate I have ever had.

Here are the ingredients that you need.

Milk, 1 tablet of Mexican Chocolate, and a cinnamon stick. You can purchase Abuelita at the grocery store.

Measure out 4 cups of milk.

Then put the milk on the stove on medium heat with the cinnamon stick.

This is a Mexican whisk called a molinillo. I use it to make the Hot Chocolate.

I have two Molinillos.

Mine are vintage but they can be purchased on Amazon and specialty kitchen stores.

The whole tablet is very hard. Many people break it up with a hammer.

Add the chocolate to the warm milk and let the chocolate melt.

As you can see I also use a regular whisk.  You need to stir continuously and get a froth at the top.

When all the chocolate has melted and it is frothy pour it into a cup.

I of course added the whip cream!

Happy Friday Funday!
