Notes
You can easily scale this recipe up to accomodate the number of people in your household.
I got this recipe from the French Food at Home cooking show hosted by Laura Calder, and it quickly became a family favorite. In fact, my children refer to it as “Dad’s special hot chocolate”.
I really like the Azteca brand cocoa powder with it’s cinnamon and chili components, though near Christmas I just use a regular cocoa powder and serve it up with a mint candy cane.
