Instructions
- To a large saucepan, dutch oven or stockpot, add all ingredients and heat over MED heat. Whisk as it heats, to combine all ingredients until smooth. Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Pour into mugs and top with desired toppings. My usual preference is whipped cream, grated chocolate, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
- Recipe makes approximately 4 1/2 - 5 cups of hot chocolate.
- Note: This is not an "authentic Mexican Hot Chocolate" recipe. It's my adaptation that my family loves.
- Add a shot of tequila (or your favorite liquor) to a mug full of hot chocolate and stir to combine.
