The MexicanMolinillo is handmade. It is used in Mexican cuisine to froth cocoa and give it a smooth and creamy appearance. It has been described that in the past it was customary to create the foam of hot cocoa by emptying the contents of one container to another repeatedly, until around 1700, the Spaniards who lived in New Spain invented the molinillo.

One of the most essential parts of the ritual cocoa drink for Mesoamerican cultures was the froth on top.
The ancient Zapotecs believed that the life force of the Wind God Pee, was present in everything, even in the lively froth of the cocoa.
Some traditions still claim that the cocoa is for the body and the froth is for the soul' - Dreis and Greenhill (2008)

To use the molinillo, hold it between your two hands and rub it back and forth a few times, making the liquid underneath all foamy.

Molinillos return at the end of April 2024!
