Wrap your hands around a cup of home-made decadent hot chocolate this winter. Easy to make, and fun to customise.
For a single serving you’ll need:
Milk – use your favourite kind! Using milk instead of water will make your hot chocolate extra creamy and delicious.
100g chocolate chopped, or 1-2 tablespoons of your favourite hot chocolate mix.
Optional flavourings – vanilla essence, spice powers such as cinnamon or cardamom, honey, etc.
Optional garnishes - marshmallows, whipped cream, grated chocolate, cocoa powder, caramel sauce, and more.
To make your hot chocolate:
Place the milk and either the chocolate or hot chocolate mix in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Whisk in the chocolate or hot chocolate mix and your preferred flavourings, and heat until warm. For extra froth, use a stick blender. Sweeten to taste.
Serve immediately in a pre-warmed mug, topped with your favourite garnishes.
Great places to buy supplies:
Sweet Pyrenees, Avoca – add their gourmet flavoured marshmallows for extra flavour and Instagrammable appeal.
The Chocolate Mill, Daylesford – try their superb Ultimate Drinking Chocolate.
Grounded Pleasures, Ballarat – for an array of exquisite drinking chocolates, cocoa, chai, panela, vanilla and marshmallows.
