Experiment: One of the most intense hot chocolates you've ever had
Ingredients -- You will need (for 1 cup hot chocolate [240ml]):
- 250 ml whole milk
- 4-6 squares of dark chocolate (I use Ghirardelli)
- A ceramic cup
- 2 tablespoons of water
- (optional) 1/2 teaspoon sugar
Procedure:
- Pour the whole milk into a saucepan and heat till it begins to simmer
- Now take the chocolate squares and place them in the ceramic cup. Heat in a microwave for ~20 second at medium power
- Pour 2 tablespoons of water on the chocolate and heat in the microwave for 30 second at medium power
- Stir the chocolate and water well to make it a thick homogeneous mixture
- Pour the simmering milk into the ceramic cup, add sugar if needed, and stir well
- Optionally strain the hot chocolate to rid it of any thin layer of cream that may have formed while simmering the milk
- Drink and enjoy!
Observation:
