MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE

"Mexican chocolate is available in most grocery stores in the specialty or Hispanic foods section. It comes in solid form. A popular brand is Ibarra. Instead of breaking chocolate into small pieces, you can blend it to powder in blender, then proceed with recipe from there."

3 to 4 ounces Mexican chocolate
4 cups milk

Break chocolate pieces into small chunks according to directions on package. One section of chocolate (each bar is divided into sections) is usually the amount needed for 1 cup of drink.

In medium-size saucepan, warm milk and chocolate over low heat stirring continuously, until chocolate melts.

When chocolate milk begins to simmer, beat it vigorously with whisk or hand mixer until mixture is thick with foam.

Serve hot in mugs.
