Customer Review: taste is awful
When I was incarcerated in a Mexican prison, this was the only drink in the joint. We had to fix it with goat's milk and heat it over an open flame in the yard. The taste is awful. It's not pleasing like the thick, hot Chocolate found in Madrid.
Customer Review: A few corrections
I just wanted to correct what some of the other reviews are saying: A. It's not an "acquired" taste, that kids will probably not like: I grew up with Ibarra, it was a once in a blue moon treat. I loved it as a kid and preferred it to Swiss Miss or Nestle or any other hot chocolate. B. Although I'm sure you can make Ibarra hot chocolate with a blender I have never once seen someone make it like that. It's really simple: Take two wedges and melt them in a cup or so of milk (any kind) or water and just whisk it or use a wooden spoon. Ibarra is may favorite hot chocolate. I've introduced others to it and they've never had a bad thing to say!
