Last week I told you how I love warm drinks and might include some of my faves in November’s Foodist Fridays. Well here I am with our first warm drink: Hot Chocolate!
As with oatmeal and popcorn, I was shocked to discover that instant hot chocolate references something that once existed without a microwave. And as with those two, home-made hot chocolate is far superior to the powdered variety. Plus, it’s easy. And endlessly tweak-able.
For the most basic home-made hot chocolate, you’ll need milk, and either solid chocolate or cocoa powder & sugar. You can boost the flavor a variety of ways from there, but if you’ve got those on hand, you’re set.
