Mexican Hot Chocolate image

Mexican chocolate is available at Mexican markets, some grocery stores and always online. Often you will find it under the brand name Ibarra, in a distinct yellow- and red-striped, hexagon-shaped box. Ibarra chocolate comes in both dark chocolate and in ''new'' flavorings - mixed with sugar cane, cinnamon and finely ground almonds. Get the former and follow the lead of our recipe's source, Rick Bayless, the great American interpreter of Mexican cuisine.

Time 10m

Yield Three to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 1/2 cups milk
1 3 3/10-ounce tablet Mexican chocolate, roughly chopped (see note)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer the milk and chocolate for a few minutes, stirring constantly to dissolve the chocolate.
  • Either pour into a pitcher and beat well with a Mexican molinillo (chocolate beater), a whisk or an electric mixer, or pour into a blender, cover loosely and blend until thoroughly mixed. Either way, you should wind up with a nicely frothy drink. Serve immediately.
