Aztec Hot Chocolate

by Briimstone & Grumblenott
Servings: 6 cups
 

Directions

  1. Put in the fridge overnight, covered.
  2. Strain through a sieve. Add 4 - 5 Tbsp cane sugar. Heat, stirring gently. Serve with whipped cream.
  3. Option: to make a great vegan or "non-dairy" hot chocolate, substitute soy milk for the cream and milk and use non-dairy whipped topping to garnish. -OR- you can use mineral water it will give you a very deep chocolatey taste.

      You're very welcome. You can tweak the recipe to the level of spicy / savoury that works for you. It always turns out fabulous if you keep the main ingredients in check - let me know how it turned out!

        This is similar to a fabulous hot chocolate that I tasted in Mexico at a fancy hotel. Can't wait to try this at home. Thanks.
