Mexican Hot Chocolate
Our children have been blessed to have all had an amazing 3rd grade teacher. All five of our children have had her, and some more than once. Every year she would teach the kids about how other countries celebrate Christs birth with "Christmas Around the World".
She would have special recipes to share with the children for each county.
This is the hot chocolate treat she shared from Mexico.
