Garnet's Favourite Hot Chocolate

Solstice Night is much too important to celebrate with hot chocolate from a packet! This recipe is definitely worth the time. Try it and see!

• 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate

• 1 C. Water

• 1/2 C. sugar or to taste

• 1 tsp. vanilla

• Pinch of salt

• 1 tsp. cornstarch

• 3 C. of milk

• Ground cinnamon to taste

Melt the chocolate in a double broiler. You can also use powdered, unsweetened cocoa. Boil the water and stir in the sugar, salt, and cornstarch until dissolved. Pour over the chocolate and stir thoroughly. Scald the milk, pour it into the mixture, and add the vanilla. Then reheat the mixture almost to boiling and whip it with an egg beater until frothy. I add ground cinnamon when I add the vanilla. Cinnamon is a fire herb and thus, is perfect to welcome the Sun. This recipe makes 4 cups but I always double the recipe.
