Real chocolate makes all the difference in a recipe like this

A rich hot chocolate recipe, made with real chocolate and whisked with vanilla. A few more pinches of spice gives this recipe a unique but subtle flavour all its own.

• 4 squares baking chocolate
• 2 cups milk
• 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
• Cinnamon
• Ground cloves

Chop chocolate and stir into milk and vanilla, over low heat until melted through. Keep from boiling.

Whisk until frothy, and serve into warm mugs. Top your hot chocolate with a sprinkle of cinnamon and cloves.

Serves 2.
