Equipment

  • 1 Pot
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 hand blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 4 cups of whole milk
  • 1.5 Chocolate Abuelita Mexican chocolate bar

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine 5 cups of whole milk and 1 can of evaporated milk.
  • Add 1.5 bars of Chocolate Abuelita and a cinnamon stick.
  • Stir occasionally as the mixture heats at high heat, pressing the chocolate bars with a wooden spoon to help them dissolve.
  • Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 10 more minutes to fully dissolve the sugar from the chocolate.
  • For that classic frothy top, use a molinillo or hand blender to whip the hot chocolate until it’s nice and foamy.
