Tips:

  • Use quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%).
  • Don't overheat the milk: Heating the milk too high can cause it to scorch and give the hot chocolate a burnt flavor. Heat the milk over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it just begins to simmer.
  • Add spices to taste: The amount of spices you add to your hot chocolate is a matter of personal preference. Start with a little bit and add more to taste. Common spices used in Mexican hot chocolate include cinnamon, nutmeg, and chili powder.
  • Sweeten to taste: Mexican hot chocolate is traditionally served with sugar or honey. Add sweetener to taste, or omit it altogether if you prefer unsweetened hot chocolate.
  • Top with whipped cream or marshmallows: Whipped cream or marshmallows are a classic topping for hot chocolate. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess.

Conclusion:

Easy Hot Spiced Mexican Hot Chocolate is a delicious and comforting drink that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and warming spices, this hot chocolate is sure to become a favorite. ¡Buen provecho!
