MEXICAN HOT COCOA
The most popular way to consume chocolate in Mexico is in the form of hot chocolate. Unlike the American version of this drink, Mexican hot cocoa is flavored with cinnamon and beaten until frothy. You can use a wire whisk for this, but in Mexico, cooks use a wooden tool called a molinillo.

MEXICAN HOT COCOA MIX
Several years ago we received a container of gourmet cocoa mix for Christmas. I was never able to find this particular brand again in the store or online so out of frustration I made up my own recipe. I buy the cane sugar in bulk at the natural foods' store. This mix is also very delicious as a substitute in recipes that call for plain cocoa mix and especially delightful in Mexican coffee. An ideal recipe for holiday giftgiving.
