How to Make Spanish Hot Chocolate Chocolate A La Taza

  1. Combine 200g of high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) and 250ml of whole milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently and continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch (cornflour) with 250ml of remaining whole milk until no lumps remain.
  3. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the melted chocolate and milk, adding 50g of granulated sugar (adjust to taste).
  4. Reduce the heat to low and whisk constantly for 5-7 minutes, or until the hot chocolate has thickened to your desired consistency. Be patient and continue whisking to prevent sticking or lumps.
  5. Remove from heat and pour into two mugs. Garnish as desired (whipped cream and a Cadbury Flake are delicious options!). Enjoy immediately.
