The stove-top kind, made from cocoa powder, milk and a little dark chocolate.
Easy. Hands on for about 10 minutes. About 10 minutes start to finish. Makes 2 mugs.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
- a pinch salt
- 1 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Steps
- Put the cocoa, sugar and salt in a small pot. Add ¼ cup (60 ml) of the milk and whisk to a smooth paste.
- Set the pot over medium-low heat. Whisk in the rest of the milk.
- Heat, stirring now and then, until it is steaming. Do not let it boil.
- Take the pot off the heat. Stir in the chocolate and the vanilla until the chocolate melts.
- Pour into two mugs. Add marshmallows if you have them.
A skin on top means it got too hot. Whisk it back in, or lift it off with a spoon.
