That's more into the southeast part of my country. My mother-in-law's parents are from Merida, and she grew up having hot chocolate this way. Aztecs are often associated with the central part of the country. In Mexico City and nearby places, we use milk for the hot chocolate - but your mileage may vary; it's a big country 😉

as a college student these videos seem like they take a lot of work to do (which they do) but you do it so well and it makes me want to try it! I got into cooking this fall and I truly love it

[@LancesArmorStriking]

I think you should always try it from scratch at least once- and then you can start pre-making/freezing all the parts. My example is cookies: sure you could do it all in one sitting, but it's way easier to mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and put it in a jar-- so the next time you want cookies, there's no taking and measuring all the ingredients, just mix the jar with butter, sugar, eggs, and bake

[@connorgolden4]

The Italian hot chocolate is so decadent but to be fair they usually serve it in a really tiny cup so it makes sense LOL. I personally love hot chocolate with chili, you should definitely give it a try some time!

[@danp7463]

You hit an interesting topic when you mentioned French style being "velvety". Most French recipes call for that. The French figured it out: texture is the conductor of flavor. One thing I'd try is fresh ground nutmeg on top of the whipped cream. If you have a good sense of smell, that could be interesting.

Differentiating between hot cocoa and hot chocolate is baloney. It's like saying sausage MUST be made with pork and if contains beef it's seasoned meat. Whether you use cocoa powder or whether you use solid chocolate is immaterial to what you call it. Allow me to confuse things further: "cocoa" is the chocolate-flavored hot drinking beverage, whatever it's made with-- the "hot" is superfluous. And then there's "drinking chocolate". And "sipping chocolate".

So a tip, I am American so this is primarily what I have found with Swissmiss, any recipe that can use either water or milk, use water, but add a bit of coffee creamer or heavy cream. It give a better taste than just water, and circumvents some of the loss of taste that milk brings when heated due to the enzymes breaking down.

Hey, I was wondering about "skin" on top of your hot chocolate. Did you find that was a problem or did you find one technique had less than another?

[@cephalonwolf8422]

I love that glass he's using.

[@albertopdt]

for the mexican style pure sugar cane @ 5:55 is called “piloncillo” pronounced as pee-lone-see-yo

[@darknessblades]

I would love some of those glasses you use. would be great for Irish coffee

There's a version of Mexican hot chocolate called Chamurrado. I believe corn Masa is the extra ingredient....it's absolutely AMAZING!!

[@Sofoca]

Champurrado and yes, it's a chocolate atole (which is a hot drink made with masa).

[@GodsSparrowSpeaks]

Wow! Thank you for all the effort you put into these recipes❣️🙌🏼💐

[@BethWallaceIreland]

Great recipe! My personal preference would be a vanilla pod in milk over a cinnamon stick & maybe a Baileys salted caramel flavor instead of the original but yumm yumm!

[@karlboman]

Oh boy, this looks amazing! I'll be trying out some new techniques this holiday.

[@peyodogo4864]

saying this in good faith, truly: good recipes, fun process, also extremely white even in the mexican attempt. experiment with the chili sometime! look literally anywhere south and/or east of europe! the whole world has mind blowing takes on chocolate to take inspiration from. I'd love to see a sequel to this video :)

[@sportsscience3]

Hands down, that last recipe you made up, the absolute best hot chocolate I've ever had. Wow, wow, wow!

Swiss Miss is not "american hot chocolate". its just a pre-packaged product. 1/2 cup of whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1-2 full bars of milk chocolate melted in, marshmallows added right off the stove is how americans make it from scratch.

[@Patrick.Weightman]

Yeah I was gonna say that's just a commercialized version of american hot chocolate. It's not like these are _exclusive_ to just the US

I use the Abuela brand Mexican Chocolate.😋
