hot chocolate suggestions

[monkey66]

My preference for hot chcooy.

1-2 teaspoons of Green and Blacks Coca powder (or any other high quality coca) NB - not the 'hot chocolate' powder
1-2 teaspoons of dark muscavado sugar
1 teaspoon of Ammeretto (or whisky/rum)
Milk

Put the coca, sugar, booze and a small splash of the milk in the cup and microwave for about 15-20 seconds. Watch it very closely and as soon as it begins to bubble pop the door. Whisk/stir this mixture so it is totally smooth. should be dark and glossy.

Pour in your heated milk and mix (if you have the facility foam the milk with an espresso machine to a latte type consistency)

This sounds like a lot of work but it is not. Takes about 3 mins and makes a stunning hot choc. Adjust the coca/sugar/alcohol mix to taste.

For people without a latte facility, save a 1-pint empty plastic milk bottle. Pour hot milk into it and give it a good shake for a minute. Et voila!

Got some Spanish extra thick hot chocolate from TESCO at the weekend after you mentioned it and thought i'd try it. Thick as a milkshake from mcdonalds and it seemed to get thicker as it cooled. It was very very good but it was very heavy. I'm going to make small cups of it in future rather than my huge mug i made lol

We do something similar, we use hersheys chocolate syrup, a good glug of smuckers caramel syrup, 2 tablespoons of fluff marshmallow , bang It in the microwave, a good few stirs then top with squirty cream , we have a chocolate and vanilla grinder, like one of those sea salt ready filled grinders you get, a good grind of that on top, then an oreo straw biscuit pushed through and to top it off, a mini marshmallow toasted with my butane lighter

The kids go mad for them

the best fortification to a hot chocolate that I have had is Stroh Austrian "Rum". It tastes like drinking an alcoholic rum and raisin chocolate milk shake with a major kick. Yum.
