Here at Ballymena Today we love Hot Chocolate and we are fortunate to have a very talented youth team who have investigated the perfect recipe to keep our cravings in check. Over to the Ballymena Today youth bloggers:
Don’t you just hate it when you get a cup of hot chocolate and it is all lumpy? Here are some tips on how to make some really good hot chocolate.
First, choose your hot chocolate. I personally think that galaxy hot chocolate is really smooth and light. Aero is a more bubbly hot chocolate. Flossy Treats also make their own hot chocolate…which it really good too.
Second, put a cup of milk into a sauce pan and bring to the boil and then let simmer until there is about a centimetre of foam on top of the milk.
Third, while the milk is simmering add about 3 or 4 tsp of the hot chocolate powder. Add the warm milk and stir well until all the lumps are gone. If you want to you can add a tsp of sugar to sweeten it up a little bit.
Fourthly, if you want the finished result to look the part; put some ‘squirty’ cream and some marshmallows on top
Finally, enjoy ☺
Thank you for reading this post. Hopefully these steps helped you to make the perfect hot chocolate.
