When the weather turns cold, people want to drink hot chocolate, which is warm and sweet. If you use chocolate instead of cocoa powder and make it without milk, you can enjoy the taste of chocolate in a simpler way. It's easy to make, too!

Hot Chocolate without Milk Recipe

Ingredients

30 g chocolate
*Bitter one, about 70% cocoa content is recommended
120 cc water

Preparation

Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan.


Add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. If using chocolate sheets, chop them into small pieces before adding them to the hot water.



Pour into a heatproof cup.

How does it taste?

It tastes thick on the palate, but because no milk is used, it has a sharp and clean aftertaste. You can enjoy the bitter, rich, but not cloying taste.


You can use any kind of chocolate, but we recommend 70% cacao couverture chocolate (for confectionery). It has the best balance of bitter, rich flavor and smooth texture. On the other hand, milk chocolate and white chocolate may not be rich enough without milk. Bitter is recommended.


Hot chocolate without milk is a must-try for chocolate lovers. It is also great for those who are not in the habit of keeping milk on hand.
