Instructions

  • Bring ¾ cup of water on slow flame to simmer. Whisk in cocoa powder until no lumps remain. Add milk and return to simmer.
  • Whisk in chopped chocolate, cinnamon and sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes whisking frequently. Mixture should be smooth and creamy and chocolate melted.

Notes

  1. Using Dutch processed cocoa and best chocolate takes the taste to a new level of bliss.
  2. Next time I plan to add a bit of all spice powder (garam masala) too. The idea of adding flavors is limitless, you can add liqueur, extracts etc of your choice.
