Description
Three small mugs of sweetened Mexican-style chocolate melted into cinnamon-infused milk and water, then whisked frothy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Water
- 1 stick Small cinnamon stick
- 3 oz Sweetened Mexican-style chocolate, chopped, package weight checked
Instructions
- In a small heavy saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup water and 1 small cinnamon stick. Warm over medium-low until steaming, about 6 minutes, without a rolling boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the cinnamon steep 5 minutes. Lift out the stick. Chop and weigh 3 oz sweetened Mexican-style chocolate, checking the package for its ingredients and sugar.
- Return the pan to low heat, add the chocolate and whisk gently for approximately 4 minutes until fully dissolved and hot. Do not boil the milk mixture.
- Whisk briskly or use a clean molinillo until lightly frothy, then divide among three small heatproof mugs. Taste the specific chocolate brand and record final volume in a kitchen trial.
