Hot chocolate is a warm, creamy beverage made with dark chocolate, milk, sugar, and cocoa. It is a very popular drink in Italy during the winter months, perfect for warming up and cozying up by the fireplace. Its origins date back to the Aztec Empire, where cocoa was considered a precious and sacred drink. Today, hot chocolate is loved by adults and children alike and can be enhanced with whipped cream, cinnamon, or liqueurs to make it even more indulgent.
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan, gradually adding the milk and bring to a boil.
Cook for another 10 minutes to thicken the chocolate.
Serve with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, and cinnamon if desired.
