INSTANT MEXICAN STYLE HOT COCOA

When I was a kid my Mom used to make Ibarra Mexican hot chocolate for me. If you've never tried it, it's wonderful stuff. You melt two wedges of the stuff in a cup of hot milk and zip it in the blender. It has some cinnamon in it and makes me think of winter with every sip. This recipe originally comes from Alton Brown's instant cocoa recipe. I've made some changes to make it my own and to get close to the taste of Ibarra
