Mexican Frothy Hot Chocolate is a traditional Mexican hot drink that is usually enjoyed during the holiday season, especially on the Day of the Dead. This hot chocolate recipe is different from the other hot chocolates because it has a unique blend of flavors that come from a combination of Mexican chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla bean, and Kahlua. The frothiness of the hot chocolate comes from blending it in a blender until bubbles form. It is the perfect drink for cold winter nights to warm up and take in the flavors and aromas of Mexico.

Instructions

1.	Place milk, Mexican chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, cinnamon and vanilla bean in a saucepan.
2.	Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly until chocolate is completely melted.
3.	Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer mix into a blender and blend for a few seconds until it becomes frothy and bubbles form.
4.	Pour the Mexican frothy hot chocolate into a cup and add a splash of Kahlua on top, if desired.
5.	Optional: Serve with whipped cream and sprinkle some cinnamon on top.
