Four Star Mexican Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:
3 ounces (tablet or cone) Mexican chocolate or bittersweet chocolate
3 cups reduced-fat, 2 percent milk
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch salt
Miniature marshmallows, for serving
6 cinnamon sticks (preferably Mexican canela), for serving

Directions:
Using a sharp knife, break the chocolate into smaller pieces. In a saucepan, combine the chopped chocolate, milk, sugar and salt over medium-low flame. Heat and stir until the chocolate is melted and milk is very hot, but not boiling, about 10 minutes.

Remove from the heat and froth the chocolate milk with a mini whisk or molinillo. Divide the hot chocolate among big mugs, top each with a few marshmallows and serve with the cinnamon sticks as stirrers.
