i do 1/3 cup of water, and 2/3 cups milk. heat it up in a pot on medium heat, and right before it gets to boiling, put it on simmer and add the chocolate. i like to use ghiradelli cocoa powder in it, and i use about 1/3 of a cup. depending on how chocolatey you like it. and then i put like an eight of a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. melt them down, and then put it through a strainer. add marshmallows and voila!! my famous hot cocoa
love it with Milky
I love Nesquik chocolate milkshake, sorry it's not hot chocoate. But I recently found the milkshake shaker at the back of my cupboard - reminded me of the time when my brother and I were little and he put cola inside ... Hehehe ... MASSIVE explosion!
Do you have a latin food isle in your grocery stores over there?? The brand abuelitas is awesome- it is mexican hot chocolate and has a little canela in it. You just put it in a pan with milk, let it melt, and stir. My MIL has even made it with 1/2 milk, 1/2 water (she is from Mexico and has 11 kids :) )
I use Green & Black organic hot chocolate, I make it with milk in the microwave and sometimes top it with cream
soooo easy..put all of this in a pan on stove top..take 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2teaspoons of cocoa(i use hersheys)1 cup of whole milk and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla..stir constantly till heated to your liking..top with whipped cream or marshmallows..mmmmm.
i've tried using coca power with milk and sugar like it says but it seriously lack something!! and i think i've figured out what it is
salts, fats, additivies, flavourings and stablisers.. lol
even in the ones that you'd think where healthy like options...ummm options,
why oh why do we love all the bad things...
I am from Texas and use Abuelita's Hot Cocoa. Mexican hot chocolate is superior because it is made with cinnamon. You have to crush the little coco cubes in the blender with ice and milk and then warm it. It's delicious! But, if you cannot find this brand, just add cinnamon to your cocoa and use milk instead of water.
I just made one for my son - I used 1 teaspoon nesqwik powder and 1 teaspoon cadburys chocolte powder and milk and heated it in the microwave.
i heat up a mug of milk in the micro cause i cant wait for it to heat on the hob, i add a teaspoon of sugar and drop in some chopped up squares of galaxy, bournville, or those Lindt chocolates, they melt in seconds. Beautiful!
monster's recipe is good - just remember the vanilla
marina's sounds wonderful - ghiradelli is a good brand
enjoy
mmmmmmmmmmm now I want some and I don't have any milk - oh well.
cheers
swiss....i make it with water, and i add mini marshmallows and stir it with a peppermint stick. it's pretty good.
I like mine with steamed milk.
First I add 2 tablespoons of Hershey's chocolate syrup to a mug.. then I use my espresso machine to steam non fat milk. Then I use a spoon to hold back the foam from the milk as I pour it in the mug with the chocolate syrup. Then I add whipped cream to the top and drizzle with a little choc syrup. It's the ONLY way to have hot chocolate if you ask me..lol
I'm from North Carolina..USA
fill mug with milk, pour into pan,heat the milk, to required temp. while waiting put one teaspoon of cocoa in mug, put a couple of spoons of cold milk onto cocoa and stir till a paste is formed. add hot milk, and sweeten to taste. enjoy.
well i sometimes make my own chocolate cocoa
i drink both way . use water and heat it in the micwave heat about 55 min til gets hot then after i use the one whole package of chocolate cocoa then sire it and then drink it or i can do same thing instead water can use milk with cocoa chocolate then put some little honey mix it . yumm.
It has to be cadburys phil made with full milk and you can add a dash of whisky or brandy then whipped cream, well i suppose i really have mine plain but it's just a thought.
