This is all that is needed as a dessert or for breakfast
Ingredients:
175mls of milk of choice,
50gs of Dark Chocolate, as dark as possible to get as much of the cacao as possible.
Ideally this is whole bean chocolate, where the bean has not been seperated in cacao butter and cacao powder. You want as much of the cacao butter as possible for flavour and natural thickness.
The butter also carries the health benefits of Cacao into the body.
If you go really dark, use additional sweetner such as maple syrup or honey to taste!
-Chop chocolate
-Heat the milk until steam starts to rise
-Add the chocolate and any additions and whisk
-Then allow the hot chocolate to rapidly bubble
-Stay with this until the moment of alchemy takes place and the hot
chocolate becomes thick. This is truly a wonderful moment.
Find somewhere quite to be with this Divine drink that will nourhsh your heart and soul!
Top with cream or coconut cream
