Chocolate Caliente

4 squares (4 oz) Baker’s chocolate broken
into small pieces
2 cups of skim milk
2 or 3 drops of vanilla extract
a pinch of cinnamon
a pinch of ground cloves
Combine the ingredients in a sauce pan and heat
gently, stirring all the time. Do not allow it to boil, but
when it is hot, whisk the drink (in Mexico the drink is
whipped with a wooden hive-like spoon called a
molinillo) and then pour it into cups. If you would
like, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the top of the
drink. Some people like to add sugar to taste when
stirring the drink in the pan.
