Steps:
- Bring the liquid almost to a simmer with the salt over medium heat, then remove it from the heat and add the chocolate. Let it rest for 1 minute, then whisk the mixture until chocolate is melted and liquid is smooth. Stir in vanilla and taste it. If you want a stronger, deeper chocolate flavor, whisk in the cocoa. If necessary, reheat the liquid over medium-low heat, stirring.
- If you like it frothy, or the cocoa powder didn't blend in smoothly, blend it in the blender.
- This recipe multiplies easily. When you get up to a quart of milk, use 1/4 teaspoon salt.

RICH HOT CHOCOLATE FOR ONE
I make this perfectly rich and easy hot chocolate for myself most mornings. It's lowfat, sugar free, and I'd rather the antioxidants from this versus caffeine from coffee. This is way better than those questionable, hardly chocolatey, who-knows-whats-in-them packets.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Use whole milk or cream for a richer flavor. If you're using skim milk, you may need to add a little sugar or honey to taste.
- Heat the milk or cream slowly over medium heat, stirring constantly. Do not boil the milk, as this will cause the chocolate to seize.
- Once the milk or cream is hot, remove it from the heat and add the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Add flavorings, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg, to taste.
- Serve immediately, topped with whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings.
Conclusion:
Rich hot chocolate is a delicious and comforting drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a cold winter day or a special occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious cup of hot chocolate that will warm you up from the inside out.
