This style of hot chocolate is popular in Colombia's capital, Bogotá. It's perfect for chilly mornings when you're 8,660 feet closer to the stars, as the locals like to say. Chocolate Santafereño is traditionally made with Luker Chocolate, panela and served with queso blanco. Like panela, Luker is a staple in most Colombian pantries, they've been making high quality chocolate since 1906.
Ingredients
4 cups water
8 tablespoons organic panela
