Mexican Hot Chocolate

How to make Mexican hot chocolate

1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk to roughly 60°C – do not let it boil.
2. Add the Mexican chocolate bar to the saucepan and stir over a gentle heat until it begins to melt.
3. Keep stirring while the whole bar dissolves, taking care not to let the milk boil.
4. If you have one, use a wooden molinillo whisk to froth up your hot chocolate, but twisting the long handle between the palms of your hand. A balloon whisk will also produce a nice frothy result.
5. Serve in a mug, or in a small bowl that you can cup your hands around.
