INSTRUCTIONS
This is from La Paloma Del Rio restaurant which overlooks the Riverwalk in
San Antonio.
In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, chocolate, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Heat and stir until chocolate melts and milk is very hot. Gradually stir 1
cup of the hot mixture into eggs and return to saucepan. Cook 2 or 3 more
minutes over low heat. Add vanilla and beat with rotary beater or
"molinilo" until frothy. Pour into mugs. Garnish with cinnamon sticks.
Note from Lyn: A "molinilo" is a nifty wooden tool that's shaped like a
round wooden spoon with carved rings on it that especially for mixing this
chocolate drink -- that is a terrible description of what it look like.
Dora? Help! This hot chocolate is a wonderful traditional Christmas drink
~- aargh! There I go again!!
