Last week we learned a song called "Bate, Bate, Chocolate" which means "Stir, Stir, Chocolate".
In Mexico, they use a molinillo to mix chocolate, hot milk, and spices. It is held between the palm of your hands and rotated back and forth.
To make the hot chocolate, we first got a hot pitcher of milk and a large piece of Mexican chocolate.
First, we had to break the chocolate into pieces.
Then, we put the pieces of chocolate into the hot milk.
Next, we used a molinillo to mix the chocolate and milk together. Our chocolate was already spiced so we didn't have to add anything else!
After mixing for a long time (we each had to count to 20 in Spanish before passing it to the next person), it was ready to drink. Yum!
