5 Tips To Make The Ultimate Hot Chocolate. Hello friends. So how are you today? Are you looking for some easy hot chocolate recipes?

The weekend soon came around! In fact, how quickly has February arrived!? Pinch punch, it is the first of the month.

5 Tips To Make The Ultimate Hot Chocolate:

Hot chocolate season is here! It’s time to wrap up and get cosy, and what better than with a steaming mug of creamy hot chocolate on a chilly January evening. Hunter 486 restaurant, located within five-star boutique hotel The Arch London, makes a mean hot chocolate.

So Gary Durrant, Head Chef at Hunter 486, has shared his top tips on how you can instantly upgrade your hot chocolate game this winter. How nice!

5 Tips To Make The Ultimate Hot Chocolate: We love hot chocolate here. Do you too?

Ditch The Kettle: Firstly, replacing boiling water with hot whole milk is a better alternative. A splash of single cream at the end can give it an even creamier and smoother finish.

Use Good Quality Chocolate: Secondly, use grated real chocolate (I recommend 70% cocoa solids) instead of powder to give it a more intense flavour.

You will need to add sugar to the taste to balance out the bitterness of the chocolate.

Don’t Add It All At Once: Thirdly, mix the grated chocolate with a small amount of milk to create a paste. If you gradually add the rest of the milk to the paste while simultaneously stirring you will find the hot chocolate is a lot smoother.

Spice Things Up: Fourthly, when it comes to spices, a winter favourite is cinnamon. However, you can always mix things up by adding cardamom and orange instead.

Add A Tipple: Last but not least, the addition of spirits and liquors can turn it into an adult guilty pleasure. Baileys, Disaronno and Cointreau all work well in a hot chocolate.

Some Fun Tips:

Does hot chocolate help you sleep? Remember when you were a child and your mum made you a hot chocolate to help you sleep? Apparently, it is the hot milk in the hot chocolate that can aid sleep. Milk also contains the amino acid tryptophan, which is used by the brain to make serotonin to slow down nerve activity, thus aiding sleep.

How do you make hot chocolate taste good with water? They say adding a pinch of salt can make it tastier.
