What do you think the best way to make hot chocolate is? For all of you people who people who believe deeply in the power of instant cocoa packets, we hear you. Heck, it’s convenient, easy, and tastes darn good. However, this article is for those who want to go above and beyond to make some of the richest hot cocoa you’ve ever had. Here’s how to do it.
Buy Some Dark Chocolate
Get things started by heading over to the supermarket and buying a hefty load of some of your favorite dark chocolate. Next, bring the chocolate home and break it up into smaller pieces. Set it aside for later.
Boil Up The Milk
Next, you’ll want to add milk to a pot and bring it to a boil. We’d recommend boiling the milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally. When the milk is brought to a full boil, you can start adding the pieces of dark chocolate to it.
Stir It All Up
Now, the most exciting part of all. It’s time to stir up the dark chocolate pieces in the boiling milk. This should be done at a slow, consistent pace. As you continue to stir, you’ll notice that the dark chocolate pieces which were once hard are now softening and melting into the milk. Eventually, the milk will start to turn brown and you’ll have yourself a rich, creamy, hot chocolate drink that you can already pour into your mug!
