Mexican Hot Chocolate is a traditional beverage made from chocolate, water or milk, and spices. It is often sweetened with sugar and flavored with ingredients like cinnamon and vanilla. The drink is typically prepared using a special tool called a molinillo, which froths the mixture to create a creamy texture. This hot chocolate is distinct from other varieties due to its rich, bold flavor and the use of Mexican chocolate, which is usually less processed and contains sugar and spices. It is commonly enjoyed during celebrations, especially around the holidays, and is often served with pastries or bread.
