1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp sugar
1 pinch salt

Instructions for making Parisian hot chocolate:

– Start by thinly chopping 100g of dark chocolate
– You want it to be at least 70% for that deep chocolate flavor
– Once the pieces are roughly the same size, set the chocolate aside and pour 500 ml of whole milk into a sauce pan on your stove
– Add two cinnamon sticks and a little vanilla extract then turn the heat on the medium and begin whisking
– Cook, stirring frequently, until the milk starts to boil and he cinnamon has infused it’s flavor into the milk
– This will take roughly 10 minutes.
– Remove the cinnamon sticks, turn off the heat and add 1 tbsp of high quality cocoa powder
– Whisk to incorporate the powder into the milk, then remove from the stove top and strain the mixture through a sieve
– This will remove any lumps and excess foam to ensure your hot chocolate is super creamy and smooth
– Return the strained mixture to the stove with the heat still turned off
– Add about a tsp of sugar (or more if you want it sweeter) as well as a pinch of salt
– This is really important as it will enhance the flavor of the chocolate which you can add next
– Turn the heat back on and stir until the chocolate has completely melted
– If you like it thicker, keep cooking for a few more minutes until it reaches your desired consistency or simply remove from the heat and serve immediately
