Chocolate Oaxaqueño

Step by stepInstructions

1. Heat the milk with the cinnamon stick and a pinch of salt in a saucepan until steaming, but not boiling.
2. Add the chopped chocolate, sugar and ground almonds, if using, and stir until completely melted.
3. Beat the chocolate vigorously with a molinillo, rubbing the handle between your palms, until a thick layer of foam rises — about 3 minutes.
4. Serve immediately, pouring each cup with a high stream to raise the foam, with pan de yema or cookies alongside.
