IRISH HOT CHOCOLATE
Home made hot chocolate is comfort food at its best, especially in the winter time. Although, I have been known to serve this up around a campfire on the 4th of July and it tasted just fine. This is an old Gourmet recipe.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate will be.
- Don't overheat the milk. Heating the milk too much will cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
- Add flavorings gradually. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve hot chocolate immediately. It will start to lose its flavor and texture as it cools.
- Garnish with whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings.
