MINT
HOT CHOCOLATE
Whole
milk makes a wonderfully rich drink, but
low-fat milk produces a satisfying concoction
as well. Add 1-2 tablespoons crème
de menthe or crème de cacao to each
mug for a grown-up variation. This elixir
guarantees sweet dreams.
1/4
cup chilled heavy cream
4 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 cups milk
4 oz (125 g) semisweet chocolate, chopped,
plus 1/2 oz (15 g) shaved
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
In
a bowl, beat the cream and 1 tablespoon
of the sugar until soft peaks form. Cover
and refrigerate until needed.
