(Rhymes with latte, latte, cho co latte). Outside of the bedroom what's the best way to cut the chill of a cold evening? Cocktails don't really do it, spiced hot red wine never seems to have caught on on this continent. People debate the restorative qualities of green tea vs. black, et cetera, et cetera. (Fear not! Not on this blog!) I, however, prefer a blend of the old world with the new.
Mexican hot chocolate
Per serving you will need:
2 wedges Ibarra Mexican chocolate
3/4 cup of milk.
In a heavy sauce pan on low heat slowly melt the chocolate wedges. When it is a soft lump of sugary chocolate, add the milk. Heat until scalded. Don't worry if there are flecks or lumps of chocolate hanging around. When scalded, carefully pour the mixture into your blender. Hold tight to the lid; push frappe.
Pour into a mug of your choice. Garnish with a stick of cinnamon. Inhale its dreamy aromatics while you sip and savor fireside, if possible. Perfect with a serving of flan
How do you stay warm on a cold night?
