500ml milk
1 piece of cinnamon bark
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 Tbsp cocoa
1 tsp sugar
1 pinch salt
100gr 70% dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- In a pot over med-high heat, add the milk, cinnamon bark and vanilla.
- Heat until it just comes to a boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and reduce to lowest setting. Allow to slowly cook for about 10 minutes or until the cinnamon infuses into the milk.
- Remove the cinnamon bark.
- Add the cocoa and whisk in. If there are bits that won't incorporate, strain through a fine mesh filter and return the liquid to the heat.
- Add sugar and salt.
- Dump in 70% chocolate and stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated in the milk.
- You can serve immediately or cook on very low temperature for 5 - 10 minutes, depending on how thick you want it (the hot chocolate will continue to thicken the longer you cook it.)
- Serve with a bowl of sugar on the side if guests like it sweeter.
