Mexican-Style Hot Chocolate - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cold water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Whisk cold water, sugar, cocoa powder, flour, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a saucepan until smooth. Place over low heat; bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and hot, about 4 minutes. Stir in milk; heat until hot chocolate just forms bubbles around the edge. Mix vanilla extract into hot chocolate. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender to make the drink slightly frothy.
