Ingredients
2 tbsp very good quality unsweetened cocoa, like Perugina or Barry
8 oz (1 cup) whole milk
1 1/2 oz good quality dark or bittersweet Chocolate, broken into small pieces, like Perugina or Barry
1 to 2 tsp sugar (more or less, to taste)
1 1/2 tsp corn starch
Instructions
Put the cocoa into a small pot (off the cooktop) and add about a tablespoon or two of the milk to Whisk into a paste, then add the remaining milk and continue whisking. I use this mini-whisk from OXO as it's perfect for jobs like this.
Place the pot over medium heat and continue to whisk; add the broken chocolate. Keep whisking until the chocolate has melted.
Next, add the sugar and stir.
Continue to whisk the mixture while adding the corn starch, before the Hot Chocolate comes to a boil.
Turn up the heat and whisk briskly to keep the mixture smooth. As soon as it comes to a boil, remove from the heat and pour into a mug. Serve immediately.
