I used to be faithful to 1 brand starting with the French NesquiK, to Chocolat Poulain, another supermarket French brand, and moving on and up to Fauchon, Confisier, Monbana etc. Ultimately I've come round to making a concoction of pure cocoa 1-2 teaspoon + 2 heaping teaspoons of chocolate drinking powder + 1-2 squares of Dark chocolate-Lindt 70% or now Chocovic's Ocumare or whatever is around. I heat jug of 200ml of milk in the micro for 2 minutes and pour a bit into the brew & stir. When the emulsion is blended I add the rest et voilà <BR/>What's nice is you can vary all the brands, proportions, the bars. The pure cocoa cuts the excess sweetness of the drinking powder. Real Paris chocolat chaud is made with just shredded bars. But this comes close & at the end you have a nice sludge of melted choco in the bottom of your cup :)<BR/><BR/>Laura - it was just a 1-room studio (did I mention the bathroom was in the hall, I had the sole key) but those Paris high ceilings add a lot of breathing space. Give me just a closet there-I'll take it tout suiteParisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1153002990000129802006-07-15T18:36:00.000-04:002006-07-15T18:36:00.000-04:00Hot chocolate. *sigh* it's lovely and tasty and ...Hot chocolate. *sigh* it's lovely and tasty and you drink it every day?
