Molinillo In central and southern Mexico, people commonly drink chocolate twice a day year-round. Having a layer of foam on hot chocolate is as important today in Mexico as it was in ancient times. Mexicans believe the spirit of the drink is in the foam. The chocolate is whipped to a froth with a carved wooden utensil called a molinillo and served in mugs. The molinillo [moh-lee-NEE-oh] is the Mexican chocolate "whisk" or "stirrer." It is made of "turned" wood and it is used to froth warm drinks such as hot chocolate, Atole, and Champurrado. Molinillos are used to create the froth on hot chocolate. You hold them in your palms as if in prayer and twirl them in the near boiling liquid to create the froth which is considered the most important part of the drink. Our molinillos are made of pine by a family in the Sierra Juarez mountains. The men make them on lathes and the women engrave them.
