Tips:
• Fun fact: A Molinillo is traditionally used to mix and froth warm drinks like hot chocolate or Champurrado in Mexican and Latin American cuisine. The tool is typically carved from one piece of wood, with a long handle and a sturdy base with moving rings and indentations. To use a molinillo, roll the handle back and forth between the palms of your hands to churn and froth hot chocolate.
• Not a fan of dark chocolate? Try using milk instead.
