Today is my first day of a weeks holiday and typically it is a grey miserable day! So I am going to be spending my Saturday getting ready for my family coming over on Monday, drinking hot chocolate and reading!

Here is my recipe for my hot chocolate. I hope you enjoy it!

Hot Chocolate 

Ingredients

500ml milk

130g mixture of dark and milk chocolate (I use around 90g dark and 40g milk)

A pinch of salt

Method

Pour the milk in to a saucepan and set over a medium-high heat.

Meanwhile break the chocolate in to small pieces.

When the milk starts to boil take the pan off of heat. Add he chocolate to the sauce pan and salt you might be using. Using a stick blender blend everything until you have a smooth, frothy mixture.

Pour in to two mugs and serve.

Optional flavours

Orange – add a slice to your mug before pouring in the hot chocolate.

Cinnamon – add a cinnamon stick to your pan of cold milk and allow to infuse as the milk boils. Alternatively, you can add a teaspoon on ground cinnamon.
