TOTAL TIME: 1 H 5 Min
– 8 1/4 cups water, divided – 3 cinnamon sticks – 6 ounces Mexican chocolate – 4 tablespoons corn starch – 1 cup milk, whole or almond milk – Kahlua or Peppermint schnapps, optional
Ingredients
Step 1 – Bring 8 cups of water with cinnamon sticks to a boil; remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 1 hour.
Step 2 – Discard cinnamon sticks and return water to medium-low heat. Add Mexican chocolate stir until dissolved.
Step 3 – In a separate cup, dissolve corn starch in ¼ cup of cold water. Stir to prevent clumps and add to pot, stirring as you pour it in.
Step 4 – Add the milk and let it come to a slow boil, being careful to turn off heat as soon as it boils. It will thicken a little and will be creamier with whole milk.
