Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat milk in a saucepan over medium until steaming, ~3 minutes. Do not boil.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk in Mexican chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, and cayenne until fully dissolved and smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Pour into a tall vessel. Use an immersion blender or milk frother to create a thick, airy foam on top, ~1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Warm croissants in a toaster or oven until golden, 2-3 minutes. Brush lightly with butter.

  5. Step 5

    Pour hot chocolate into mugs, keeping the foam intact. Serve immediately alongside the warm croissant.
