Old-Fashioned Christmas Hot Chocolate

A simple stovetop hot chocolate using cocoa, chocolate and milk for Christmas Eve or a cold December night.

For two mugs

  • 500 ml milk
  • 2 tbsp cocoa
  • 50 g dark or milk chocolate
  • 1–2 tsp sugar, to taste
  • Pinch of salt

Warm everything gently while whisking until smooth. Do not boil it into submission. Pour into heavy mugs and add marshmallows if that is the household law.
