European Hot Chocolate
Sadly, as it happens, brick buildings don't stand up all that well in an earthquake. My favourite little shop was completely obliterated, and hasn't resurfaced anywhere else in the city.
Its been about 4 years since I last had a cup of that hot chocolate and I still think about it often.
Inspired by glass mason jar and a friends upcoming birthday I decided to Google hot chocolate mixes and followed the links - Thick hot chocolate / spicy hot chocolate/ Italian hot chocolate/ European hot chocolate/
I tried out a few different methods and came up with my own recipe. I've called it "European Hot Chocolate" because its mainly a mish mash of different recipes claiming to be European.
Ingredients
2 tsp cornflour
1 tsp cocoa powder (or powdered hot choc mix)
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
85 grams chocolate (chopped) - choose either white/milk/dark/chilli chocolate My favourite is dark chilli chocolate.
