  • 35 g sugar (to taste)
  • 4 tsp cornflour
  • 60 ml water
  • 500 -600 ml milk (enough for two cups)
Method
  1. Mix the cocoa powder and sugar together.
  2. Dissolve the cornflour in the water and combine with the cocoa-sugar mixture in a medium-sized saucepan. Stir until it is a smooth paste.
  3. Begin heating the mixture, stirring continuously. Gradually pour in the milk, and continue to stir as you bring it to a simmer.
  4. Simmer, stirring often, for about 10 minutes. The hot chocolate is ready when it thickens and is glossy and smooth.
