Mexican Hot Chocolate




Source of Recipe


internet






List of Ingredients



• 3 cups milk
  
• (If available) 3 tablets of Mexican chocolate such as Ibarra, Abuelita, or Moctezuma brands, often found in the hispanic foods section of your grocery store
  
• If not available you can make your own chocolate blend using:
  
• 3 1-ounce squares of semi-sweet baking chocolate
  
• 2 cinnamon sticks
  
• 6 whole cloves
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
• A "pinch" of cayenne pepper (if you like spice)
  






Instructions



1. In a double boiler, heat the milk and chocolate tablets, or if you're making your own, the semi-sweet chocolate, cinnamon sticks, cloves, vanilla, and optional cayenne. If adding the cayenne, use just a pinch, because a little can create a lot of heat!
   
2. Stir until the chocolate is melted and uniformly incorporated. If making your own chocolate, strain the liquid to remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks.
