Pure Dark Drinking Chocolate

Ingredients
- 2 C Milk - Your favorite dairy substitute should work one to one, don’t think too hard! Use whatever you have on hand to put into your coffee or tea.
- 1 bar of Pure Dark Chocolate - Pick your favorite! 70% Pure Dark is going to be bright and fruity. 80% Pure Dark will be rich and more traditionally chocolatey. 92% Pure Dark packs a tangy punch.
- A pinch of salt - I use the vanilla salt that I keep on my counter, but any sea salt will do. This helps the bright chocolate flavor pop against the milk or dairy substitute.
- Optional flavors and garnishes - A dash of cinnamon or cayenne, a sprinkling of vanilla powder, microplane shavings from another, darker bar of chocolate? Your choice!
-
Break or chop up your Pure Dark chocolate bar into smaller, meltable pieces.
-
Heat your milk or milk substitute in a saucepan until just before the boil, stirring every once in a while so that the bottom doesn’t burn and stick to your pan. You’ll be able to see tiny bubbles forming at the edge of the pot when it’s ready.
-
Add your broken up chocolate bar to the hot milk and whisk softly until it is completely melted.
-
Pour into two cups and add a garnish if you choose to.
-
Sip, don’t gulp, away.
It’s really, actually that easy to change the way you look at hot chocolate forever.
