Authentic Hot Chocolate

Ingredients

• 100g of chocolate bars (dark or milk, according to your preference)

• 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder for garnish

Preparation steps

1. In a saucepan over low heat, start by breaking the chocolate bars into small pieces.
2. Add the milk to the saucepan. Stir constantly with a whisk to ensure the chocolate melts evenly without sticking to the bottom.
3. When the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, if desired, add the sugar and stir until it is completely dissolved.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as the mixture is hot but not boiling.
5. Pour the hot chocolate into mugs.
6. Gently sprinkle cocoa powder on top using a small sieve or a fine sieve.
7. Serve immediately and savor this moment of pure indulgence.
