- 1
Prepare chocolate
Measure and finely chop the Mexican chocolate tablea (about 1 cup when chopped) to help it melt quickly.
- 2
Melt chocolate into a smooth paste
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped chocolate and water. Warm over low heat, whisking until the chocolate fully melts and forms a smooth paste.
- 3
Heat milk with aromatics
In a separate pot, heat the milk with the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and optional ancho chili powder until just steaming (do not boil).
- 4
Combine and whip
Pour the melted chocolate paste into the warm milk and whisk vigorously with a molinillo (or a whisk) until the mixture is smooth, emulsified, and foamy.
- 5
Adjust and finish
Taste and adjust sweetness or spice. If desired, continue whisking a bit longer to deepen the foam.
