Instructions
Berry Milk
In a small pot, heat the berries, sugar and water over medium heat until boiling. Let boil for 10 minutes, stirring periodically; mixture will reduce and thicken slightly.
While syrup is cooking, chill two small glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Using a fine sieve or mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a small bowl. Set the berry syrup aside.
Add 3/4 cup milk to each glass and serve.
Swirl in 2-3 tablespoons of the berry syrup into each glass of milk (depending on your desired level of sweetness).
Foamy Ancestral Mexican Hot Chocolate
Warm up the milk over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Drop in the bar of Mexican chocolate.
Stir manually with a “molinillo” (a traditional Mexican turned wood whisk used to froth and blend hot beverages) or a whisk. You can also mix the chocolate in a blender.
