Ingredients

  • 1.50 c boiling water
  • 6.00 oz dark chocolate (coarsely chopped)
  • 1.50 c milk
  • 1.00 salt (pinch)

Directions

  1. Place the chocolate in a saucepan. Pour about half of the boiling water over the chocolate and stir until it’s melted and smooth.
  2. Stir in the rest of the boiling water and the milk. Heat over medium heat, whisking continuously, until hot but nowhere near boiling. (Both texture and flavor are best if the hot chocolate never exceeds 180 degrees.)
  3. Taste and consider stirring in a tiny pinch or two of salt.
  4. Serve immediately or set aside and reheat before serving.
