HOT CHOCOLATE!.. does anyone have a favorite Hot Chocolate recipe that they would like to share?
First let me say that your recipe sounds YUMMMMMY!!!!!! I will be trying it. Spiced Hot Chocolate (six servings) 6 cups whole milk 3/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar 15 whole cardamom pods, crushed 12 whole cloves 2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half 2 whole star anise 3/4 teaspoon whole coriander seeds 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract preparation Bring first 9 ingredients to simmer in heavy large saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep 20 minutes. Add cocoa powder and vanilla. Bring to simmer, whisking until blended. Strain hot chocolate into 8-cup measuring cup; discard spices. Serve. You can make a gift-able version by grinding all the spices in a food processor sifting them through cheesecloth, and mixing them with the cocoa powder and brown sugar. Put in a nice gift Jar and add tag that says “Just add milk and vanilla!” Vegan Hot Chocolate 1 can coconu
