Frothy Hot Chocolate

You could use Mexican chocolate, which is flavoured with almonds, cinnamon and vanilla, and sweetened with sugar. All the ingredients are crushed together in a special mortar, and heated over coals. The powdered mixture is then shaped into discs, which can be bought in specialist stores.
Total time: 7 min
Servings: 4
  • 4 c. Milk
  • 1 Vanilla Bean
  • 3 oz. Dark Chocolate Bar (70%), grated
  • Pour the milk into a pan, split the vanilla pod lengthways using a sharp knife to reveal the seeds, and add it to the milk; the vanilla seeds and the pod will flavour the milk.
  • Add the chocolate. The amount to use depends on personal taste - start with a smaller amount if you are unsure of the flavour and taste it at the beginning of step 3, adding more if necessary.
  • Heat the chocolate milk gently, stirring until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, then whisk with a wire whisk until the mixture boils.
  • Remove the vanilla pod from the pan and divide the drink among four mugs or heatproof glasses. Serve the hot chocolate immediately.
