Homemade Hot Chocolate recipe

140g dark bitter- sweet chocolate

275ml hot milk

or half water half milk mixed together


Break up the chocolate into small pieces and place in a pan over a gentle heat.

Pour over 3 tablespoons of hot milk cover the pan and allow the chocolate to soften.

Remove the pan from the heat and whip the contents into a smooth paste.

Add a little more hot milk to dilute it.

Then add the rest of the milk stirring constantly do not let it boil at anytime.

Hot chocolate is still a popular breakfast drink with French children, but the real thing is another matter.

To saver its full strength and flavour it should be made the night before.

Then reheated in a earthenware pot in a bain -marie it should never boil.

These are the rules according to the 18th century philosopher of gastronomy Brillot Savarin.

Which were given to him by the Mother Superior of the convent of the Visitation at Belley in southeast of France.
