This yields a hot chocolate exceptionally rich and representative of the quality of the chocolate used. It won’t be for everyone, just people who want a melted bittersweet chocolate bar for breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1 1/2 C. boiling water
  • 1 1/2 C. milk

Directions

Place the chocolate in a small saucepan. Pour about half of the boiling water over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in the rest of the boiling water and the milk. Heat over medium heat, whisking continuously, until hot but nowhere near boiling (the texture and flavor are both best if the hot chocolate never exceeds 180 degrees). Serve immediately, or set aside and reheat just before serving. Serves 6.
