This is NOT that ready-made thing that they call hot chocolate. Nor is it about taking a teaspoon of chocolate powder in some milk. This is about going back to the original mug of hot cocoa that kept our parents warm before the era of "processed, pre-packed, and prepared" . Read more OK ! So it takes a little longer but when you have tried it, Tell me if it wasn't worth the wait See less
