Castillian Hot Chocolate Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  1 cup sugar
  7 tsp cornstarch
  1/2 cup water
  1 qt milk

Shift the cocoa and sugar together into a medium-sized saucepan. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water, and stir into the cocoa and sugar until it is a smooth paste.

Begin heating the mixture, stirring it with a whisk, and gradually pour in the milk. Continue stirring with the whisk as you bring the liquid to a simmer.

Allow the chocolate to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until it is thick, glossy and completely smooth.

Serve steaming hot in coffee mug. Serves six.
