I love hot chocolate,

Thought I would share this piece from the NYT.

Fun article... I like mine with warm milk with some ganache stirred in. And a dollop of homemade whipped cream on top. Little chocolate sprinkles optional. Drizzle of Chambord requisite.

Invention, my dear friends, is ninety-three percent perspiration, six percent electricity, four percent evaporation, and two percent butterscotch ripple

Sorry, Jim, but HC must be made with half-and-half to glorify the flavor's richness. Scalded, not boiled, then mixed into a paste consisting of Droste's Cocoa, a bit of sugar and cream. And now for my Michelin star!

........Cocoa.......

a mixture of half & half and milk ........ a good bittersweet chocolate and a little sugar ... a hint of vanilla and a little fresh mint.

of course a dollap of freshly whipped cream doesn't hurt.....:lips:

Sweet Dreams!!
