Warm up your milk and pour some hersheys chocolate syrup in and stir!
Heat the milk in a sauce pan over a low flame. In a separate sauce pan warm a little bit of milk. Mix in cocoa and sugar to taste. Beat till it is a quicker like paste. Add to the milk on the stove, heat till dissolved. if you like foamy hot chocolate beat it with a electric beater. enjoy
6 Tsp. Unsweetened cocoa
6 Tsp. Sugar (to taste really)
Pinch of Salt
2 1/2 cups full fat Milk
2 1/2 cup Light Cream (single)
1/2 t. Vanilla (or more)
Pinch of Cinnamon Powder (optional)
Whipped Cream
Orange Zest (optional)
Mix cocoa, salt, and sugar.
Add milk. Heat to dissolve.
Add light cream, cinnamon, vanilla. Heat to just under boiling.
Mix very well and pour into warm mug.
Top with whipped cream, cocoa powder, and fine orange zest.
Its amazing!
use cadbury's cocoa powder and heat up some milk on the cooker then add cocoa power and whisk while it heats up, don't stop whisking until it is at the temperature you want. then grate a little bit of fresh nutmeg into it and enjoy. :)
heat milk in a pan. put in cadburys chocolate powder. whisk. standard.
I love my cadburys hot chocolte made by filling a cup with milk and putting 3 heaped spoon of choc on top and put in microwave for 2 mins.But keep an eye on it so it doesn't boil over.When done give it a good stir and enjoy
to make it yourself you need to first heat your mug then add the hot choclate(ovaltine's probably the best) then add hot milk and mix it together it stays hot for longer if u heat up the mug. :)
if you use cadbury's drinking chocolate powder, put your milk and sugar or sweetner in a cup and put it in the microwave, stir in the chocolate powder and then add boiling water to the other half of the cup, stir until it froths on top and drop half a marshmellow in the top. sprinkle some flake over that and there you have a fabulous hot chocolate.
Melt around 75g dark chocolate in a bowl over simmering water. Heat 1 pint full-cream milk gently until it is hot but does not boil, dissolve in 1/2 - 1 teaspoon sugar (to taste). Whisk the hot sweet milk into the chocolate and top with whipped cream and a flake if you want to go all the way. Or put a dash of alcohol in - brandy or rum is nice but Cointreau or Southern Comfort give interesting results. You can also try flavoured chocolate - Green and Black's Maya Gold is pretty spectacular
I got some Coco Direct fair trade drinking chocolate the other day. You just mix about three heaped teaspoons with a wee bit of milk so its smooth and then add the rest of your milk (a mugful) and then heat it in the microwave for two minutes. I do it in a microwavable measuring jug so you can give it a proper whisk. Cadbury's drinking chocolate is nice but it isn't actually that chocolatey... You could also just finely grate some really good quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids) and whisk that into hot milk and sweeten it to taste.
When I worked in coffee shops they just made up a syrup from drinking chocolate powder and mixed it with hot milk. You won't be able to steam and froth milk properly at home but giving it a good whisk does an alright job. Or use one of those funny wee electric whisks that are for making frothy coffees at home if you can be bothered.
Hotel chocolate`(I think mail order only-don`t know of any shops) is verrry good,and they do flavoured ones too! Full instructions on the packet. Thorntons is good too,but less interesting.
i work in a tea room we use cadburays chocolate we also mix it with the milk and steam it makes it very frothy and Delicious
