Nothing compares to the bliss of sitting in my shop, dipping my sweet bread in my custom off menu 80% dark hot chocolate, listening to my favorite playlist, a customer telling me how their begging their friends visiting from out of town to come check out the cafe, sun shinning in through the windows as the rain clouds finally part. Peace.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Coffee: The Ultimate Comfort Drink for Winter
The winter months beckon us to slow down and savor the warmth and comfort of the indoors. One such comfort that many of us lean on is a steaming cup of our favorite beverage. For those who love a rich, warming, and uniquely spiced drink, there's nothing quite like Mexican hot chocolate coffee. This enticing fusion of traditional Mexican hot chocolate and robust coffee is more than just a drink—it's an experience.
Understanding the Blend
Mexican hot chocolate coffee is an innovative fusion of flavors that stems from a rich cultural tradition. At its core, it combines the spicy sweetness of Mexican hot chocolate with the bold, robust flavors of coffee.
Mexican hot chocolate is renowned for its unique blend of cacao, sugar, and warming spices such as cinnamon and sometimes even a hint of chili. When combined with coffee, these flavors result in a beverage that is rich, fragrant, and comforting.
Why It's Perfect for Winter
1. Warming Spices: The cinnamon and chili in Mexican hot chocolate are natural warmers. They not only add depth to the flavor profile, but they also bring a warming sensation that is welcome during the colder months.
2. Rich and Comforting: There is something inherently comforting about the combination of chocolate and coffee. This duo provides a rich, decadent taste experience that can feel like a warm hug in a mug on a frosty winter's day.
3. Boost of Energy: The caffeine present in the coffee provides that much-needed energy boost that can be especially appreciated during the darker, slower winter months.
Creating Your Own Mexican Hot Chocolate Coffee
While you can find ready-made Mexican hot chocolate coffee in some specialty coffee shops, there's nothing quite like making it at home. Here's a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup of strong brewed coffee
1 Mexican hot chocolate tablet (available at international grocery stores)
1 cup of milk
Whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for topping (optional)
Instructions:
1. Brew a strong cup of your favorite coffee.
2. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
3. Add the Mexican hot chocolate tablet to the milk, stirring until completely melted.
4. Combine the hot chocolate mix with the brewed coffee.
5. Pour into mugs, and if desired, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!
In Conclusion
Mexican hot chocolate coffee truly is the ultimate comfort drink for winter. Its rich, warming flavors provide a sense of comfort and indulgence, while the caffeine offers a pleasant pick-me-up. As the winter months roll in, consider adding this delightful fusion to your repertoire. It's a tasty way to experiment with your coffee routine and explore the flavors of another culture right from your own kitchen.

Kroelian SINISTEA & POLTEAGEIST (Fire/Fairy)
They are based in traditional mexican hot chocolate, their hotness and spicyness are why they are a fire type, as they are so hot they constantly produce steam, their spicyness is a reference to how originally chocolate was made with chilli, this is also why there are some little chillis included in the design
their shiny colors are based on "Arroz con Leche" a traditional sweet rice pudding often served hot and also spiced with cinammon, just like chocolate
SINISTEA is based on a Mayan spouted cup, the spout is used pretty much like a straw to drink the chocolate
POLTEAGEIST is based on the Rio Azul chocolate vessel, a pot that was used to store chocolate
The wooden club POLTEAGEIST is holding is a "Molinillo", is a wooden tool used during the preparation of Chocolate to mix the solid chocolate with the milk or water in the pot, you need to give one to SINISTEA for it to evolve into POLTEAGEIST
