Mexican Hot Cocoa

12 cups water
3 to 4 cinnamon sticks (3 inches)
2 cans (16 ounces each) chocolate syrup
3 cans (12 ounces each) evaporated milk
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Whipped cream, ground cinnamon and cinnamon sticks, optional

In a large kettle, combine water and cinnamon sticks. Bring mixture to a boil;
reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until liquid turns light
brown. Remove cinnamon sticks and discard. In another bowl, combine the
chocolate syrup, milks and vanilla; slowly stir into cinnamon water. Return
mixture to a simmer just to heat through. Top servings with whipped cream,
cinnamon and cinnamon sticks if desired.

Yield: about 5 quarts.
