Sometimes the easy way isn’t always the right way, and that’s certainly the case when you’re making a hot chocolate. It’s easy enough to pop to your local supermarket and pick up some instant hot chocolate, before arriving home and adding in a touch of boiling hot water. You’re just not going to get the true experience that way.
With a ceramic chocolate pot, you’re able to melt fine flavoured cocoa straight into the pot with heated milk. Add the pieces of chocolate slowly whilst keeping the chocolate pot on a low heat (over the stove). You can then add a touch of sugar, but not too much, otherwise the deep notes of roasted cocoa won’t come through.
Brits have been enjoying hot chocolate for hundreds of years, and as a country we’d enjoy it a whole lot more if it was served up fresh from the cocoa bean in traditional ceramic chocolate pots. So make sure you help raise the bar, and enjoy hot chocolate the right way!
