This delicious, not-too-sweet Mexican hot chocolate is richly flavored with cocoa and delicately seasoned with spices. The whole-stick cinnamon stirrers come in handy, as the old-fashioned chocolate mixture settles if not stirred before drinking. The blend of cinnamon and chocolate flavors is wonderful! —Kathy Young, Weatherford, Texas

Use Mexican chocolate tablets for an authentic cup of chocolate instead of regular loose cocoa powder. But whatever you do, please don't use the Abuelita brand by Nestle, especially if this is your first time tasting Mexican hot chocolate! It's full of weird processed ingredients and vegetable oil that give it a bad after taste. Trust me, no hot chocolate house in Mexico City or San Antonio is pouring vegetable oil into their delicious cups of hot chocolate or using fake flavors. Use the green label Ibarra (their natural version), or buy chocolate from La Popular, Corona, or Taza online. These are made without the junk like artificial cinnamon and veg oil (WHY?!?!) that Abuelita offers. And dissolve the hard chunks of real Mexican chocolate in a small amount of hot water (just enough to cover the tablet), then add evaporated milk. This results in a very rich and fluffy treat.
Wow! It is so good! But, to be Mexican approved, you need to use chocolate Abuelita. Next time, use that delicious rich chocolate!
If you want Mexican chocolate, you need Chocolate Abuelita, along with milk or water. This may be hit chocolate, but it’s not Mexican.
Our singles group from church had a Christmas Party at one of our members house. Aurtro made the wonderful tasting Mexican Hot Chocolate Drink for after dinner treat. We all sat around and played cards. The next time, I will make the wonder tasty drink when we all get together again. If I had 5,000 thumbs I would hold all of the thumbs up. Yummy.
