hot chocolate recipe | homemade hot chocolate | hot cocoa mix recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. an elegant and smooth beverage recipe made with full cream milk and cocoa powder. the recipe is an ideal feel-good beverage which is not just served as evening drink, but also as a social drink with friends. generally, it is made with the best quality of cocoa powder and full cream milk to get the best taste out of it.
as i mentioned earlier coffee and chocolate-based recipes are purely based on the quality of chocolate and coffee powder. again for this recipe, i have used the finest quality of chocolate powder for this recipe. the quality of the chocolate powder not only improves the taste but also the texture of the drink. i personally recommend and use hershey’s cocoa powder which should be ideal for most of the chocolate-based recipes. having said that you can also use your personal best chocolate powder brand which should be equally good for this recipe.
anyway, i would like to add some tips, suggestions and variations for a perfect homemade hot chocolate recipe. firstly, the recipe should be made with full cream milk to get the best result out of this beverage. do not attempt to make this recipe with other variants of milk, particularly with skim milk or thin milk. secondly, you can follow the steps of the same recipes and make the other variants like milk chocolate, dark chocolate and other flavours of chocolate. having said that you may have to vary the quantity of sugar to increase and decrease the sweetness. lastly, the drink has to be served warm and it may not taste particularly good when served with room temperature. yet it is completely based upon your individual taste.
