This is from La Paloma Del Rio restaurant which overlooks the Riverwalk in San Antonio.
In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, chocolate, ground cinnamon, and salt. Heat and stir until chocolate melts and milk is very hot. Gradually stir 1 cup of the hot mixture into eggs and return to saucepan. Cook 2 or 3 more minutes over low heat. Add vanilla and beat with rotary beater or "molinilo" until frothy. Pour into mugs. Garnish with cinnamon sticks.
Note from Lyn: A "molinilo" is a nifty wooden tool that's shaped like a round wooden spoon with carved rings on it that especially for mixing this chocolate drink --
that is a terrible description of what it look like. Dora? Help! This hot chocolate is a wonderful traditional Christmas drink ~-
aargh! There I go again!!
