How To Make Organic Hot Chocolate
There is much debate about how to make authentic hot chocolate and exactly what is authentic hot chocolate. For me it doesn’t matter, traditional or with a modern twist, hot chocolate is my preferred hot drink all year round. This hot chocolate recipe, found via Sugar Savvy, is a bit different to what I’m used to but makes a nice change. Use the best organic ingredients you can find if you want a top quality organic hot chocolate.
Ingredients:
40g unsweetened chocolate
2 cups water
2 Tbsp sugar (or more, to taste)
2 Tbsp cornflour
1. Pour the water into a saucepan, and place over medium heat until it’s nearly simmering.
2. Meanwhile, combine the sugar and cornflour in a cup.
3. Pour a small amount of the hot water into the sugar/cornflour mixture, and stir until you have a runny, lump-free paste.
4. Pour this paste back into the saucepan with the rest of the water, over medium heat.
5. Break the chocolate into pieces, then add the pieces to the hot water mixture.
6. Whisk the mixture over heat until it starts to thicken. This will take a few minutes. (The longer you cook it, the thicker it will become.)
7. Pour into mugs, and serve immediately. (It’s normal for this hot chocolate to form a skin, like custard.)
