Homemade hot choco?!
Answers: How do you make a simple homemade hot choco?....thanks!
Here's a recipe.
Special Hot Chocolate
INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 cups milk, scalded
2 oz unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
PREPARATION:
In a blender, combine chocolate, sugar, vanilla and salt, with 1/2 cup of the milk. Blend until smooth, then add the rest of the milk. Serve immediately.
Buy cocoa, marshmallows and milk. Mix all and then add water, TA DA!
Put chocolate milk in the microwave/stove. That's how the coffee shop by my house does it!
Another way is bring milk (white) to scalding and add cocoa and sugar to taste. it has to be very hot for the cocoa to mix with the milk.
mmm, I like the recipe below me (mexican) because it uses actual chocolate. I'm not sure how that would turn out. I probably would skip the cinnamon, though.
mix nesquick in hot milk,add marshmellows
My mom makes the best hot chocolate! She got it from her mom too:
MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE
1 entire circle of Abuelitas brand chocolate
4 wholes cinnamon sticks
1 cup sugar
marshmallows if desired
Place the cinnamon sticks in a microwave dish with water and heat in microwave.
Allow the water to become very hot - to a boiling point. Turn off microwave and allow the cinnamon sticks to steep in the water until the water is cinnamon colored.
Once done, place the water (hot) in the blender and add the entire circle of Abuelitas chocolate and the cup of sugar.
Blend on high so it will get foamy. Once the chocolate is dissolved, just pour it into cups and top with marshmallows. You can add more or less sugar to taste as desired.
This recipe is much better than American hot chocolate.

A shot of brandy added to this doesn't hurt!
cocoa, milk, a little sugar, makers mark
1 TBS cocoa, 1 TBS sugar, cup of milk. Stir before you put all the milk in. Heat in the microwave.
Stir enough milk for 2 cups and 40 grams of really good (dark chocolate, like lindt 70% cocoa) over a low heat until chocolate melts. Using a whisk, can help to froth the milk a little.
Add sugar to sweeten to your liking..
delicious!
Hershey's baking coco has a great recipe on the side of the container a squirt of whip cream is nice a cinnamon stick for a stirrer is theatrical Mexican coco is melted chocolate in a sauce pan until dissolved and milk added gradually and beaten smooth it has cinnamon in it and its good but in the land of packaged coco Swiss miss is my favorite read the directions and follow the measurements
From my childhood when there was only home made chocolate in my house... I am a little fuzzy on the particulars but milk, sugar, vanilla flavoring, and Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa powder are the ingredient. I think it was either 2 or 1 table spoon of cocoa to a cup of sugar in a 1/2 gallon of hot milk. The trick is to mix the cocoa and the sugar real well before adding it to the hot milk. I would guess from one to three teaspoons of vanilla flavoring. We used to mix powdered milk with the sugar and cocoa and make an instant mix so that we could just add hot water also. That would be whatever the milk label says for the powdered milk to make a half gallon of milk mixed with the sugar and cocoa powder REAL well.. Then add by the spoon to hot water until desired taste is reached, then add a drop or two of vanilla if you like. We never used marshmallows...
Italians make a very thick hot chocolate.
The recipe is made up with sugar, cocoa powder, maize flour and milk.
You mix the dry ingredients together and then gradually stir in the cold milk. You then heat it on the stove, stirring it all the time until it becomes thick and glossy.
You can then add other flavours, such as mint or vanilla essence, your favourite liqueur, fresh strawberries or crushed nuts..... or enjoy it plain.
I use 1 heaped teaspoon of cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 heaped teaspoon of maize flour, and a small cup of milk.... but you can adjust to suit your taste and preferred texture.
Hot chocolate is actually hot chcolate milk. Or you might want to make Mexican Hot Chocolate: http://www.spatulatta.com/week06_mex/mex... You can also use cocoa powder, hot water or milk, and toppings like marshmallows, whipped cream, sprinkles, grated white, dark, milk, or whatever chocolate, etc.
