Bittersweet hot chocolate-annrms
Ingredients
5 oz. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (I love a 70% bittersweet, but milder chocolates also work well)
Pinch salt
1 cup boiling water
1 cup whole milk
Lightly sweetened whipped cream
Preparation
In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate, salt, and about 1/3 cup of the boiling water. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Add the rest of the water and heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to simmer at the edges. Whisk in the milk and continue to cook until steaming hot, but keep the temperature well under a boil (ideally no more than 180°F) for the best taste and texture. Just before serving, whisk to a froth. Serve in small cups. Pass a sugar bowl and a small bowl of whipped cream for each person to serve himself.
