Hot Chocolate with Spices



| Ingredients
| Basic preparation



Ingredients

100 g chocolate, 60% cocoa solids (4 oz) - 700 ml milk (2 3/4 cups) - 1 vanilla Bourbon pod - 1 stick Ceylon vanilla - 1/3 Grenada nutmeg - 1 clove - 2 star anises - 1 peppercorn.

Preparation

Bring the milk to a boil with the spices and the vanilla bean, first splitting this in half and scraping the seeds into the milk. Infuse, off the heat, with the lid on for 15 minutes.

Bring back to a boil. Pour through a strainer over the chocolate, which you have broken into small pieces. Stir to obtain a smooth and creamy mixture.

Return to the heat and warm, stirring with a spoon or with a whisk (for a foamy mixture), without bringing to a boil. You can add a little water to thin the hot chocolate.
