Ingredients
- 350g full-fat milk
- 50g water
- 4 Tbsp good quality cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp coconut sugar
- a small stick of cinnamon
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 green cardamom (crushed)
- 100g of dark chocolate (chopped/broken into chunks)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- In a pot mix the milk, water, sugar and spices (crush and dehusk the cardamom, adding only the seeds), and gently heat over low to medium heat until just below boiling.
- Remove from the heat and mix in the cocoa powder, and vanilla. Return to low heat for 1 minute stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat and discard the cinnamon and bay. Next, add in the dark chocolate (you can use anything from 55% to 80% for this depending on taste) and stir off the heat until melted. Finish with a small pinch of sea salt.
- Emulsify with a handheld blender and divide into 2 mugs. Top with whipped double cream and a grating of dark chocolate.
It was simple to make and tasted amazing.
