ANOTHER GREAT RECIPE

Versatile Hot Chocolate

3 oz bittersweet  (60-70%) chocolate, chopped into small pieces

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup milk

2 teaspoons light brown sgar

place chopped chocolate in a small heatproof bowl.  Bring water to boil and pour over chocolate pieces, making sure all the chocolate pieces are submerged.  Set aside for about 3 minutes.  While waiting for chocolate to melt, place cream and milk in a medium saucepan and bring mixture to a simmer.  Stir in brown sugar.

whisk chocolate and water mixture until smooth, then pour immediately into milk and cream mixture.  whisking constantly, bring mixture just to a boil.  Divide the hot chocolate among the mugs and serve immediately.

VARIATIONS:

Spiked Hot Chocolate

Add a shot of liquor to your mug of hot chocolate.  Peppermint schnapps, Kahlua, and any orange-flavored liquors work well.  Only add the shot to the mug after you have prepared your hot chocolate, never during the cooking process.

Iced Hot Chocolate

Hot chocolate tastes great chilled.  Bring your hot chocolate to room temperature while it is still in the saucepan.  Once it’s cooled, fill and inc cube tray with some of the hot chocolate and place the rest in a pitcher in the refrigerator.  After the ice cubes are completely frozen, place three or four in a glass.  Shake your pitcher of iced hot chocolate (some chocolate will settle at the bottom of the pitcher), and pour over the ice cubes.
