Look back one year, a hot chocolate hug--Mexican Hot Chocolate

Today is 9/14, I remember I was somewhere Massachuset enjoying lobster on the same day last year. It feels like happened a lot in the past year, I can't believe it has been only one year. And I laugh at something I said, something I wrote, something I believed in, but I understand the little silly me one year ago, when I was doing those, I already had expected they would be teased later.Like now, it would be awkward to read these in the next year, I guess I would wish I had never ever written those words. But let me worry about this next year.

It is a little early to celebrate my first hot chocolate one -year anniversary, but I don't feel like celebrating my first roast pork tenderloin one-year anniversary, maybe I just can't wait , love it so :)

Hot chocolate has be made from chocolate, but not cocoa powder, that is hot cocoa. Those hot chocolate in restaurants that impresssed you a lot are all made from shaved chocolate but not cocoa.

It is very simple, but will bring you incredible warmth and happiness, like a warm hug with the smell of chocolate :)

Pick up one kind of chocolate you like, bittersweet, dark or milkchocolate . I usually go for bittersweet.

Carefully shave it( besides hot chocolate, it also can be used as the ice cream topping), just use knife or a shaver

Whole milk( no way to be skim milk, fat free milk --it can't be counted as MILK)

Use whisk, carefully stir, mid-heat, not let it boil, just let the chocolate dissolved in the milk.

At the end, the secrete ingredient is Butter, melt in 1/2 tbs butter( unsalted ~~). Neither half &half nor heavy cream, they are too heavy.

As for the flavor, you can use cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate liquor, even spicy. For toppings, whipped cream, marshmallows.

Today what I made is actually a spicy Mexican hot chocolate by using Mexican chocolate taza. if not for hot chocolate, I do not like the texture of Mexican chocolate, it has too much sugar, you can see it there. but it combines all the spicy there, so it's good for hot chocolate.

I really hope it is one of the few things in my blog that my friends would like to try .
