I love Abuelita. My daughter's Spanish class was having a party and her
contribution was Mexican hot chocolate. I asked my daughter if her
classmates had enjoyed it and she said she thought so, given that most
of them tore their cups in half to lick the dregs after they'd drained
the contents.

You can approximate the frothing action of a molinillo by twirling a
wire whisk between your palms.
