Como fazer Mexican Hot Chocolate

In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of whole milk and 4 ounces of Mexican chocolate (such as Abuelita or Ibarra).
Split a vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the milk. Add the bean pod as well.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the milk is warmed through (about 5 minutes). Do not boil.
If using a molinillo, carefully froth the hot chocolate using a swift, circular motion for about 1-2 minutes, or until frothy. Alternatively, use a whisk to incorporate air and create a light foam.
Remove from heat and serve immediately in large mugs. Garnish with cinnamon sticks or marshmallows (optional).
