Hot Chocolate
Ingredients:
- 1 oz (generous) good sweet chocolate; broken to pieces
- Small quantity of milk; or water
- 2 tb To 3 tbsp water or milk; boiling
- 1 c Milk or water; boiling
Instructions:
Put the chocolate broken up into pieces with a small quantity of water
or hot milk in a casserole on a gentle heat. Cover the pan, let the
chocolate soften, remove from the fire and whip into a smooth paste
with a whip or wooden spoon; add first of all two or three tablespoons
of boiling liquid (water or milk) to dilute the paste, then the rest of the
liquid, still boiling, continuing to stir all the time. To retain the full
aroma of the chocolate (the same applies to cocoa) it must never be
allowed to boil.
