how to make hot chocolate

Mexican Hot Chocolate

August 19, 2009 by Daniel C

Stores that sell Mexican foods usually carry a special form of chocolate used to make this delicious chocolate drink. It comes in cakes or tablets and contains sugar and cinnamon. If you can't get this special chocolate, sweetened cooking chocolate can be used instead.
In Mexico, hot chocolate is customarily served in a large earthenware jug. It is placed on the table, where the chocolate is whipped into a froth with a wooden beater called a molinillo. If you can't find one in your neighborhood, a handheld eggbeater will work just as well.
