Ingredients

Servings
  • 16 oz dark chocolate , with 70% cocoa
  • 5 cups milk whole
  • Pinch salt fine
  • 4 tablespoons caster sugar , or more according to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (cornflour) or potato starch

To flavor

  • 1 cinnamon stick , and/or 4 cloves, 1 seeded vanilla pod

Instructions

  1. Finely grate the chocolate.
  2. In a non-stick saucepan, combine the milk and cornstarch with a whisk and bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Add the sugar and mix well with a wooden spoon.
  4. Add the chocolate and salt.
  5. Add the chosen flavors(s) and mix well.
  6. Over medium-low heat, stir with a whisk until the chocolate is completely melted.
  7. When the mixture begins to boil, remove the pot from the heat.

Notes

  • It is possible to replace the chocolate with 9 oz (250 g) of cocoa powder between 65% and 100% cocoa content. In this case, use a blender to dilute the cocoa powder when it is incorporated.
  • For the drink to have more consistency, leave it longer on the heat, stirring constantly with a whisk and making sure that it does not burn.
  • For a lighter drink, you can replace the milk with water.
