Nestle Abuelita Mexican Chocolate 19 ounces

Product Information

Adding a dash of vanilla to Abuelita hot chocolate can really take it up a notch. A little goes a long way and it’s definitely worth the effort. Vanilla has a sweet, creamy flavor which helps to make the cocoa taste richer and bring out the other flavors of the hot chocolate.

To make Abuelita hot chocolate, you’ll typically need 4 cups of milk for one tablet of Abuelita chocolate. My family is from Jalisco and Ibarra is quite popular there, for obvious reasons. But we grew up drinking both Ibarra and Abuelita. I buy both brands. Abuelita hot chocolate is often confused with Mexican hot chocolate. The two are not interchangeable. All Abuelita hot chocolate is Mexican hot chocolate; not all Mexican hot chocolate is Abuelita.If you use too much cocoa, the flavor will be too intense and might overpower the other flavors in your drink.

Once it’s hot, you can then start to add the ingredients and mix them together until the chocolate melts and the drink is smooth and creamy. When preparing Abuelita hot chocolate, start with the chocolate tablets. The tablets are made of cocoa, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla and they give the hot chocolate its unique flavor and richness. You don’t need to measure out each ingredient, as the tablets are already pre-measured. When adding cinnamon to Abuelita hot chocolate, use the highest-quality ground cinnamon you can find. This will ensure that the flavor is as rich and complex as possible. An organic, fair-trade cinnamon will provide the most intense and delicious flavor.I suggest you try both and decide for yourself — or even better if you can splurge on a more expensive artisanal brand then do so. Look for an artisan made one or just less unpronounceable ingredients. How to Make Vegan Mexican Hot Chocolate
