Here's another family favorite traditional drink.
I've always looked forward to this time of the year not only for Christmas but for the food and this comfort drink that I love so much. At the age of about 12 (I think), I remember watching one of my relatives making this and I just had to know how it was made. So I watched her and tried to understand the process and ingredients, but of course I didn't write any of it down and forgot. Recently I asked one of my aunts (my Tia Olga) how to make it because I had been craving it and she gladly told me with detail. I couldn't go without sharing this with you because it isn't the same as American hot chocolate. It's thicker, smoother, sweet yet nowhere near the flavor of powdered hot chocolate, it's a different type of chocolate, and it's filling. It will surely warm your belly :)
