How about you post one, OP?

I've never had any hot cocoa that didn't come out of a packet.

Favorite cocoa recipe

1. cocoa powder
2. remove powder
3. enjoy

>>8337600
Nutella cocoa. Around 2 tablespoons (or more if preferred) per 1 cup of milk. Heat together and stir.

>>8337639
Not OP. Only way to do a proper cocoa:
>heat milk (or water) on stove until hot, not boiling
>add dark chocolate; higher surface area means better melting, so cut/shred fine
>continuously mix until no more chocolate is caked on bottom
>serve in a big mug
>add spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ancho chile, etc.

>>8337696
>gif contradicts your 'only way' to do it

I don't have a strict recipe but I like adding some cayenne pepper.

Is 100% cocoa powder way too bitter to use? Obviously sugar, vanilla, and creme will be added. I don't have any chocolate bars to use.

>>8339805
There's always someone. I don't get the appeal.

>>8339805
Oh you, john.

anyone have any good recipes for vegan cocoa?

>>8340117
Usually I whisk 1 tbsp of cocoa powder, a bit of brown sugar, and a pinch of salt into 250 ml of cashew milk until it's smooth and hot enough, then I add a little splash of vanilla extract and it's done.

>>8340138
thanks anon, that sounds delicious

cocoa powder
water
aspartame
coffeemate
vanilla extract

boil water with cocoa powder, pour into cup with aspartame and coffeemate

then add some vanilla extract.

perfect cup of cocoa, without the sugar.

>>8340166
>aspartame

more like aspartmeme

I found a delicious Spanish honey that gives my chocolate a wonderful malty taste. A single teaspoon of it just changes the flavour completely compared to ordinary sugar.

I've read peanut butter is good in hot chocolate, can anyone confirm/deny?

What's the best chocolate to use when making hot chocolate?

>>8340450
if you make cocoa in a saucepan and then melt a big spoonful of peanut butter into it it's god tier

Hot Chocolate Powder
Boiling Water
Three Fingers Kahlua
Two Fingers Whiskey of Choice

>>8342596

the saucepan is for hot chocolate not fucking hot cocoa

>>8342617
Fuck off, retard. Go shitpost somewhere else.

Alright, so I have an idea.

>>8342627

what's the best food snack that goes with hot chocolate?

muffins? scones? raisin cookies?

>>8342762
Something less sweet than the drink, like scones would be best

As long as it uses milk instead of water.

>>8339805
AND AS ALWAYS

ENJOYYYYYYYYY

>>8337696
Is that a slow cooker

>>8342762
Challah bread

For me it is Swiss Miss w marshmallows. The best hot cocoa.

>>8343035

>>8343760
Okay is that a New Meme ?

for some reason Starbucks hot cocoa just hits the spot.

Whole milk
Dark chocolate
A tiny pinch of cayenne and cinnamon.
Small chunk of white chocolate for some sweetness.
A few marshmallows in the bottom of the cup before I pour in the hot chocolate.

>>8342762
fresh bread with salted butter

>>8343779
>>8343779
I'm sorry, but can I get a few /thread-a-roonies on this?

>>8343785
the addition of white chocolate I'm gonna have to try, that sounds amazing.

what i often make is cioccolata calda. it's really rich and creamy

i use pretty much this recipe. i'll translate it from Italian

>http://ricette.giallozafferano.it/Cioccolata-calda.html

>500 ml whole milk
>20 g corn starch
> 120 g of whatever kind of chocolate you like
> 20 g sugar
> 20 g cocoa powder
> splash of vanilla
> pinch of salt
> double boiler and let it thicken till it's almost like a pudding consistency
> splash of chocolate liquor and some whipped cream, if you feel like it
> maybe also some cinnamon and cayenne

so comfy

>>8339295
Normal people can have treats every now and then, fatty.

>>8343854
>>8339805
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE APPEAL OF ADDING CAYENNE PEPPER IS BECAUSE IT SOUNDS NASTY

>>8342617

>>8343937
some people like it spicy mate

>>8343947

This is my absolute favorite. This is not a scientific recipe, add everything to taste.

-2 cups Whole milk
-Cocoa powder
-Sugar
-Hint of blue agave extract
And the sekrit ingredient, pure orange extract. Not a whole lot, probably about a 1/2 teaspoon at the most for the entire batch. It's like a liquid chocolate orange. It's amazing.

>>8337692
That's good for coffee too.

1.- Heat milk until just below boiling point
2.- Add a cinnamon stick per every 2 liters Add half a chile de arbol if you are muy macho. REMOVE THE CHILE AFTER 5 MIN
3.- Let it rest for 30 min so it has time to properly bond. Remove the cinnamon stick(s).
4.- Reheat again, add 1 bar of chocolate de mesa per every liter(you can stretch it to half a bar if you want less chocolatey and more nuanced cinnamon). You can also add corn starch for a t h i c c e r atole-like consistency at this point. Also sugar I guess, but pic related is already plenty sweet.
5.- You could also top it with a bit of egg custard, or whipped cream. Crushed nuts also make a wonderful topping.

>>8343716
Dehydrated marshmallows or just the regular small ones? Dehydrated are GOAT.

http://fxcuisine.com/Default.asp?language=2&Display=205&resolution=high

I don't agree with Fx on water>milk and the use of sugar, but more or less everything else about his recipe is spot on. If you don't have a chocolatière, either whisk vigorously in a large ball or use a kitchenaid, but the chocolatière does make it far easier with less spillage, and looks quite nice to boot.

If you prefer it thicker in the italian style, double the solid chocolate and take 100ml off the water content. If you add spices or sugar, you should reconsider your life. If you add marshmallows, sprinkles, whipped cream, or anything else of the like, you should kill yourself.

fill 1/5 of mug with water
add a spoon of cacao powder
add a spoon of icing sugar
add a piece of chocolate
microwave til hot (30s)
stir
top up mug with milk
microwave til hot again
stir
drink

I wouldn't serve to guests though

>>8344009

>Add half a chile de arbo

NO

>>8343736
my nigga.

Are there any premade mixes that aren't total shit? I've tried so many, up to some British Cadbury's Drinking Chocolate powder (probably the blandest of them all) and it's all been shit. Abuelita is the only one that's had any taste whatsoever. Pic related, or maybe Stephens are a distant second.

Also how do you make it richer? It never comes out as creamy as it does in a restaurant. Granted I use almondmilk ,or that almond/coconut blend (unsweetened) most of the time, but I've done it with even whole and no difference in taste or thickness.

>>8345780
Temper chocolate on double boiler then add your desired amount of milk. If you want something done right do it yourself. When it comes to food and drink the quick way is generally the shitty way.

>>8345788
Chocolate to milk ratio? How many cups of milk per a bar?

Spanish chocolate a la taza is legitimately the best hot chocolate I've ever tasted. The consistency is cum worthy.

>>8344237
Eh, I do something similar
I just keep a jar with those ingredients blended together, it's
200g good dark chocolate
100g cocoa powder
50g icing sugar
50g cornflour, for that consistency
Salt
Just blended into dust.
Then I heat milk gently in a pan and whisk in like two tablespoons per mug, with whatever spices I feel like adding

Doing it in batch like this for the winter is lovely

Dark chocolate finely shredded
unsweetened cocoa powder
half a teaspoon of corn starch
cinnamon/five spice/cardamom anything goes really
Milk

>>8344028
the dehydrated ones, boy, like the ones in lucky charms

>>8340086
When done properly the milk will act as a coat to the pepper and you don't feel the heat until it's in the back of your throat. Fantastic when you're sick or stuffed up.

This is my hot chocolate recipe, feel free to steal it. I just eyeball the ratios.

>Bar of dark chocolate
>Bar of milk chocolate
>Milk
>Light cream
>Cinnamon (only a dash)
>Salt (only a dash)

Just chop up the chocolate bars and mix with light cream and milk and simmer until heated to the desired temperature, make sure to stir. Add cinnamon and salt near finishing.

Ez

1. night before freeze milk chocolate bar
2. heat up water to boiling point
(the next day that is)
3. as its heating the next day remove chocolate from freezer and beat vigorously in plastic ziploc bag until thoroughly pulverized
4. salt water AS ITS BEING HEATED. should taste like the sea

5. add cinnamon and nutmeg (in the following ratio and as >>8337696 suggested cardamom) to the chocolate now pulverized thoroughly in the ziploc bag.

6. throw a butter in there enough to lubricate 3 parts cinnamon: 1 part nutmeg the entirety of the ziploc walls
6. at this point the water should be reduced by 50-60% and potable and distilled sufficiently for the introduction of the buttery choco-full-a'-spice- mix!

7. do that by stirring the water with a rod or spoon creating a vortex into which is dispatched the chocolate and spices.
8. Cover.
9. Wait with the bag for 5 minutes or so until no more chocolate is caked on bottom
10 blanch the liquid for 30 seconds
11. pour into buttered bag
12. freeze

1tbs cocoa, 7 jars of cyanide for being an autist vegan

>>8340450
Peanut butter is good with anything

>>8342650

>>8337600
whole milk, cocoa powder, little bit of sugar. that's it, nigger.

>>8337692
This, but I also throw some spices in there. Usually nutmeg, cinnamon, chili powder, and a pinch or two of salt.

>>8344502
Seems like someone is not macho enough

honey
touch of salt
unsweetened cocoa powder
nob of butter
splash of red wine
boiling water

>>8351189

>>834627

Heh yeah it's the most convenient method that still allows for customisation... I keep a jar of blended icing sugar and cacao for this. Icing sugar already has starch though (at least where I'm from). I use whatever chocolate I have on hand, grated chocolate seems to lose flavour quickly

>>8337600

>>8337672
Okay anon

>>8340117
I like it bitter, so I put 2 tbsp per cup, but 1 is enough. There are a variety of vegetable milks that are already a bit sweet so I don't add sugar at all. Favourite milks are spelt, buckwheat and millet. Anything with chestnuts or hazelnuts is great too. Rice I find a bit watery. I'm not even vegan and I prefer my cocoa now than before I got lactose intolerant. Cow milk is an arbitrary limit for cocoa drinks.

>>8348535
I'll beat you vigorously m8

>putting milk and sugar in your xocolatl
Fucking plebs. Real men drink it black.

1. Measure about 6 dl of water into a saucepan.
2. Take a vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds into the water. Add the pod as well.
3. Cut a green chili into rings and add into the water.
4. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Now is a good time to rip out the heart of a captured prisoner of war on top of a pyramid as an offering to the gods.
6. Strain the chili and vanilla pod out.
7. Add in a tablespoon of corn flour and 4 heaping tablespoons of cocoa powder. Stir vigorously with a whisk.
8. Cool it down to room temperature and pour into small cups. Serves five.

Bot cocoa pwodr and chocolate?

>>8354931
I find it's too rich with milk. Bit of a waste too, anyway, most mixes have milk powder in them.
