SPANISH HOT CHOCOLATE RECIPE - THICK HOT CHOCOLATE
The Spanish hot Chocolate, also known as Chocolate caliente in Spanish, is one of the most popular winter drinks not only in Southern Spain but all around the world. This Spanish Chocolate drink had its origins in the XVIIth century and it used to be consumed only by the Spanish Aristocracy. The idea of the Hot Chocolate actually came from the Mayan Empire, but the Spanish merchants modified the recipe giving it a unique and distinguished flavor.

Steps:
- Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and add the cornstarch. Whisk to dissolve the cornstarch. Once the cornstarch is dissolved, heat the milk on medium heat just until it boils, then remove from heat.
- Add the chocolate immediately and begin stirring until the chocolate is completely melted. If the milk cools off too fast, place the pan back on the stove on low heat to melt the chocolate.
- Place the pan back on the stove on medium low heat, stirring slowly, but constantly. (Do not cook the mixture over high heat because it may cause lumping.) Taste the chocolate for sweetness and add more sugar if necessary. The mixture should thicken quickly. As soon as you see it thicken, remove the pan from the heat so the cornstarch will not thin. Ladle immediately into cups and serve piping hot.
- Note: Be sure to use a clean spoon every time you taste the chocolate. Enzymes from your mouth can cause a thickened cornstarch mixture to thin.
