Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup half-and-half, scalded
- 2 1/2 cups milk, scalded

- 2 tablespoons Creme de Cacao (to taste)
- Garnish
- whipped cream
- shaved bittersweet chocolate
Method
- In a heavy saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, water, vanilla, and a pinch of salt: heat the mixture over low heat, whisking, until the cocoa powder is dissolved and the mixture is a smooth paste.
- Gradually add the half-and-half and the milk, (both scalded), and simmer hot chocolate, whisking, for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the creme de menthe and the creme de cacao.
- Note: (For a frothy result, in a blender blend the hot chocolate in batches.)
- Divide the chocolate among mugs and top it with the whipped cream and the chocolate.
