    A little note on the Mexican chocolate (from a Mexican woman): the most traditional version is actually made with water not milk because the Aztecs didn't have any dairy.

      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 😉

      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

    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.

    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.

    Piloncillo is Raw Cane Sugar, so demarrara sugar is an excelent replacement. Also no one in Mexico uses chile in their chocolate. Whoever tells you they do, it's not true, that's an american adaptation.
    As an extra, piloncillo is pronounced pee-lone-see-yo
    and molinillo is pronounced mole-in-e-yo
    Good video, the italian chocolate seems interesting to me :D

    Hey friend , so Mexican hot chocolate is often used with water and the molinillo is used to aírate the hot chocolate so it’s nicer to drink so on milk it light not make a different but on water it does haha… also props for trying to do it with a whisk… It probably works the same way but just takes longer

I love hot cocoa! It reminds me of going to Santa’s Village in the San Bernardino mountains (now defunct) as a girl in the 80’s. If I recall correctly they added both marshmallows and whipped cream. It was sooo good. It may have just been Swiss Miss, but most things seem to taste better as a child. It’s so much more enjoyable when it’s really cold out. Merry Christmas to you and yours.❤👍🏼

    So, Panela or as it's referred to in Mexico, piloncillo is what he's talking about. If you have a Mexican store around you, or live in a border town, you'll probably find it. Get the darker kind, it's delicious even on its own.
    My personal hot chocolate like drink, from Mexico, is called Champurrado and it is this wonderfully spicy, warm... Just wonderful atole that feels like a hug for the soul -- really delicious especially now when it's a bit colder.

    I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever had a hot chocolate that contained actual chocolate as opposed to cocoa powder. It’s not a drink I commonly order as opposed to “make” at home(and by make I mean mix a packet). I’ll say that as far as cheap mix goes, Swiss Miss is the way to go(over that other big brand who’s name is eluding me now). Much better flavor.

    I'm actually quite good using the molinillo but it took me a lot of practicing (I'll tell you a secret; many people cheat using the blender)
    BTW; it's piloncillo (pee-lon-see-yo); Mexican grannies like to use it a lot =)
    Would you consider a follow and include Spanish hot chocolate? It's very thick and you can have it with a churro; in Madrid, the Chocolatería San Ginés is open very late into the night so people going out to the clubs go there before partying
