Mexican Hot Chocolate Puck & a Molinillo

If you like to sing while you cook, this rhyme is popular with Mexican children everywhere:

• take 4 ½  tablespoons of chocolate powder, or crush a chocolate puck (a pressed mixture of sweetened cacao nibs), in a pot with the molinillo
• pour in four cups of milk, and slowly simmer stirring occasionally until the chocolate has melted
• when completely melted, place the molinillo between your palms and spin  vigorously for a few minutes until it’s good and frothy. The rings on the bottom of the molinillo twirl around whipping the beverage into a foam. (No Mexican chocolate is acceptable that is not foamy).
