Parisian Hot Chocolate

Ingrediencie

2 cups (500ml) whole milk

5 ounces (130g) bittersweet chocolate (best-quality, finely chopped)

optional: 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

Postup

Heat the milk in a medium-sized saucepan.

Once the milk is warm, remove from heat and whisk in the chocolate, stirring until the chocolate is melted. For a thick hot chocolate, return to heat and cook at a very low boil for about 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly. Be careful and keep an eye on the mixture, as it may boil up a bit during the first moments.

Taste, and add brown sugar if desired.

Serve warm in demitasse cups, or small coffee or tea cups.
