HG Iced Alternative: For an equally delicious iced Mexican cocoa, try this... When you add the milk, add 1/4 cup cold water, not hot. Then serve over ice.
Between the heat of the spices and the steamy temperature it's served at, this new cocoa recipe is way hot. So if your town's plagued with snow, this is our way of saying, "Stay toasty!" And if it's not, scope out the iced alternative below the recipe...
