I use almond unsweetened when I'm the the US. It's easier to find almond milk that doesn't separate when heated. If in other countries, I go for lactose free skim milk.

In Spain there's a similar (if not the same) tradition of thick and saucy hot chocolate, which are served with churros that are NOT sugar-coated (unlike what they do in Mexico). It's soooo good. Places that serve this "chocolate con churros" are called "chocolaterías". I'm glad to see that style of chocolate not only in one country!

In México when you add corn starch to a hot beverage, It Is called "atole". Atoles aré really flavourful. Among the different flavours, you can have :chocolate, strawberry, guava, coconut, vanilla , pecan, etc. And as for hot chocolate, we have a special kind of chocolate that we call "chocolate de mesa". Which Is really tasty and flavourful. We usually have It at night Time or at any Time if the Day/ evening Is kind of cold! Really delicious. There's several brands AND different flavours like: cinnamon, vanilla, plain, etc. Yours seems to be very tasty as well. Going to try It! Ty for sharing the récipe.👍😸☕

This is so true! I'm Colombian-American. One of the things I learned when I moved to Italy, is to prepare only foods that are in season; because that is when their flavor is at its best. Having lived my childhood in Colombia, this was such a foreign concept to me. Along the Equatorial line, everything is always in season. i.e: Mangos are produced all year round. We have 2 summers: Jul and Jan, that becomes "mango season" simply because there are more mangos than usual. I moved to Miami as an adolescent. Again, in the land of plenty, there are plenty of imports all year round. It was only when I moved to Italy, that I started noticing you can only get certain fruit and vegetables, certain times a year. One may get almost everything at a supermarket, but they are colorless, small imports from Africa. I started taking notes: "- Zucchini blossoms are from May to Sept. - Oranges are from Oct to Dec., etc..." I learned this, and the art of medium and slow (both Italians and French call it slow instead of low) temperatures in Italy and from my French partner. Both aspects make all the difference. The lesson boils down to respect. If you respect the "material" you're cooking, you learn its properties, texture, water content, etc, you'll know what temperature it requires.

They grow all year round in Medellín. He did that and made me freshly squeezed orange juice. He had it ready on the table by the time I'd woken up. He passed away over 20 years ago. No orange juice has ever tasted the same, but I do get lilies whenever they are in season. I also found an excellent perfume by Cartier that smells of lilies. That scent smells like a hug to me.

Thank you so much for this recipe, and all of the other recipes you've shared on your channel too. Made this last night in lieu of a weekend dessert, and it was as beautifully velvety, rich, and creamy as you described. Thank you again, and Happy Holidays!

What childhood memories from so so long ago your recipe brought! Hot chocolate from Spain is very much the same and so delicious. My grandma use to make it only in winter because summers in Cuba are so very hot. Of course here in America I’ve tried make it but not like grandma’s. Traditionally it is eaten with churros and it is heaven. Thank you!

I remember about 20 years ago I had something like this at Starbucks. It was magical. They discontinued it, but I always wanted to find a recipe. I am 95% sure they based it off of this!! I always said it was like having a candy bar in a cup, it was so thick and rich!

A cute talented Italian nonna who teaches me how to make the most decadent drink, that warms both soul and stomach, this fall ANDA goes for vegetable drink, refusing to condone with planetarian damage and animal suffering + health benefits!?

Okay, there's nothing about this whole video I don't love. The chef, the kitchen, that pan!, the chocolate pot and cups, and the lovely room in which they're enjoying their desert-drink. As an aside, I've often wondered about Agatha Christie's Poirot's chocolate drink - and though Poirot is Belgian - I imagine this might be the very thing.
