Mexican hot chocolate

Cinnamon-laced cocoa drink

Mexican hot chocolate is a traditional beverage made with chocolate, warm milk or water, cinnamon, and often a touch of chili pepper.

The chocolate typically contains sugar and spices already blended in, sold as tablets or disks.

It's traditionally frothed with a wooden whisk called a molinillo: She made Mexican hot chocolate for Christmas morning.
