Mexicana hot chocolate
This traditional Mexican hot chocolate is wonderfully self-indulgent!
What you need
- 100 g plain chocolate, broken into pieces
- 450 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 3 tsp soft brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- To serve
- 4 sticks cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Method
Place the broken chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Heat gently until melted, about 3-5 min.
Meanwhile, place the milk in a separate pan with the vanilla, sugar and cinnamon and heat until just below boiling point.
Transfer the milk and chocolate to a blender. Process until well mixed and frothy.
Pour into warmed glasses. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and ground cinnamon.
