Spiked Hot Chocolate

Ancient-Ways-for-Comfort-on-Cold-Days-1-546x367

Ingredients

2 cups milk and/or water

4 ounces Abuelita’s Hot Chocolate

1 shot of Patron Tequila

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dash of cinnamon for garnish

 

In a saucepan, add the milk or water with the rest of the ingredients. Set over medium heat until the chocolate has completely dissolved and the liquid is simmering.

Remove the pan from heat, and if you so are inclined, beat with a whisk or molinillo stir until the hot chocolate has a thick layer of foam on top. Or get one of these milk frothers that the hubby bought me.Serve while very hot.
