Hot Chocolate (mmmm)

[Rouge]

I have a gorgeous little retro milk pan that Ms Nelle gave me for my birthday that I use to make hot chocolate, I make it using whatever choc I have in the house and milk. I also add cinnamon for a mexican hot choc and if it's just for me I'll add a dash of cayenne as well.

As for types of chocolate, if you want REAL good hot chocolate go for a bitter sweet dark like 70% you'll be able to adjust the amount you need and won't have to worry about the sweetness.

Also don't forget good valrhona chocolate.

Have you tried the Lindt one from the supermarket? It's just chocolate flakes you stir into hot milk. Soooo good.

Chocoholics Anonymous do a yummy hot choc mix. Only downfall was it took aaaagessss for delivery, but that's prolly just cause Perth is soooo far away lol

I second San Churros as well.

I bought the chocoholics anonymous ones and I still haven't finished it. I think it tastes terrible!

I make an awesome Nigella one, can't remember the exact recipe, but it goes something like this -

Milk
30ishg of dark choc
1tsp brown sugar
1tsp honey
cinnamon

Heat in a small saucepan on the stove, whisk when choc is melted. Take off the heat and add a few drops of vanilla and a splash of brandy

ETA Obviously you could withhold the sugar and honey if you don't like it so sweet. This hot choc is not for the faint-hearted LOL.
