hot Chocolate

There is nothing better than warming up with a hot, thick cup of hot chocolate. And this winter, it is expected to be colder than normal.

Therefore, I suggest that you gather these handful of ingredients and make this mix for the snowy days ahead.

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate bar (I use at least 60% cocoa)

2 1/2 C Dry Milk (I suggest investing in a good quality brand)

1 1/2 C cocoa powder

1 teaspoon salt (finely ground)

1 Tablespoon cornstartch

2 C powdered sugar

Using a food processor or hand grater, grate the chocolate bar into small shavings. This will be easier to do with a processor, but it can be accomplished with a hand grater. I believe this step is worth it as it adds to the creaminess of the drink. Set aside.

Sift together the rest of the ingredients using a whisk to combine. Mix in the grated chocolate.

Store in an airtight container. Use 1/4 cup of mix to 8 ounces of steamed milk.

Yum! Delicious.
