La Monarca Bakery Mexican Hot Chocolate Mix, 2 x 10 oz — Organic Cacao & Cinnamon, Authentic Frothy Cup

This two-pack recreates the rich, frothy hot chocolate found in traditional Mexican kitchens using organic, fair-trade cacao that La Monarca Bakery grinds and blends in-house with cane sugar and a signature spice mix. Made without preservatives, artificial colors, or artificial flavors, the powder is formulated to deliver a velvety cup that can be whisked, frothed, or heated on the stove for a comforting beverage any time of year. La Monarca also supports monarch butterfly conservation through a portion of proceeds donated to ECOLIFE Conservation.

What makes this Mexican hot chocolate different from regular cocoa?

Unlike plain cocoa powder, this mix starts from whole organic cacao nibs, preserved oils, and real cinnamon for texture and authentic flavor depth. The recipe is modeled on Mexican chocolate traditions, offering a spicier, more aromatic cup with a naturally grainy, satisfyingly thick finish when prepared traditionally.

• Ground from organic, fair-trade cacao nibs for richer chocolate notes
• Includes real cinnamon and a traditional spice blend for warm aromatics
• Made in-house by La Monarca Bakery to preserve freshness and texture
• No preservatives, artificial colors, or flavors—clean-label ingredients

How do I prepare a classic cup of Chocolate Mexicano at home?

There are two simple methods: whisk on the stovetop for a traditional froth or blend with hot milk for a quicker, silky cup. Use about 2 tablespoons of mix per 6–8 ounces of milk or water, heat gently until steaming, then whisk briskly with a molinillo, frother, or whisk to create a light foam.

• Stovetop: combine mix and milk, heat until steaming, whisk until foamy
• Electric: blend hot milk and mix briefly for a smooth, frothy texture
• Adjust sweetness: add more or less to taste; pairs well with a pinch of chili
• Serving ideas: top with whipped cream, crushed cookies, or a cinnamon stick

How much product do I get and how long will it last?

Each purchase contains two 10-ounce bags (20 ounces total) of powdered mix. Storage in a cool, dry place keeps the mix fresh for months; once opened, reseal the bag or transfer to an airtight container to preserve aroma and prevent clumping.

• Pack includes: two 10 oz bags — convenient for gifting or sharing
