Recipe for Delicious and Deep-Flavored Hot Chocolate Made at Home
Perfect for chilly days! Make a wonderfully smooth and rich hot chocolate that will warm your body and soul. You can enjoy your very own cup of hot chocolate bursting with the delightful flavor of sweet chocolate.
Hot Chocolate Ingredients- 2 Tbsp high-quality cocoa powder
- 1 cup (240ml) hot water
- 30g dark or milk chocolate (finely chopped or melted)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, to ensure a warm and rich flavor, prepare good quality cocoa powder. Generously add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder into a mug or a saucepan. Spread it evenly at the bottom so it can be dissolved smoothly without lumps.
Step 2
Next is the hot water. Prepare 1 cup (240ml) of steaming hot water, freshly boiled. To prevent the cocoa’s delicate flavors from evaporating, it’s recommended to let the boiling water cool slightly. Slowly pour the hot water over the cocoa powder.
Step 3
Now it’s time to create the base for your smooth hot chocolate. Using a spoon, stir to combine the cocoa powder and hot water thoroughly. It’s crucial to stir sufficiently until you achieve a smooth, uniform consistency without any clumps of cocoa powder. Be careful to stir continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Step 4
Finally, it’s time to enhance the flavor by adding chocolate! Add 30g of finely chopped dark or milk chocolate. Any type of chocolate you prefer will work wonderfully. As the chocolate melts into the warm drink, you’ll enjoy a deeper, creamier chocolate taste. Stir again until the chocolate is completely melted. For an even more special treat, consider adding sugar, whipped cream, or marshmallows to your liking.
