The Steaming Cup

Simple, but special.

It’s special because it’s so simple. Using unsweetened chocolate brings out the bold cocoa flavour. You’ll be making this hot chocolate all winter long. This is a classic recipe that many people will recognize once they taste it.

• 2 1/2 cups milk, scalded
• 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/8 tsp salt

In a blender, combine chocolate, sugar, vanilla and salt, with 1/2 cup of the milk. Blend until smooth, then add the rest of the milk. Serve immediately.

Serves 3.
