Bitter hot chocolate
Dec. 5th, 2016 05:10 am3 to 4 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips (warning: 4 Tbsp makes it very intense!)
1c soy milk
mug
measuring pitcher
small whisk
microwave
Put the chips in the bottom of the mug you plan to drink out of. Splash in just a little bit of soy milk, not even enough to cover the chips. Microwave on high power in intervals of 15 seconds, stirring after each interval. When the milk is simmering and the chips have begun melting (30 to 45 seconds), stir until the melted chocolate is smooth.
Pour the soy milk into a microwave-safe one- or two-cup measuring pitcher and microwave at 70% power for 1.5 to 2 minutes (less if starting at room temperature) or until the milk just begins to bubble and develops a skin on top. Pour a little of the hot milk into the chocolate and whisk rapidly to integrate it, scraping the bottom of the mug to get all the chocolate up and integrate it. Continue incorporating the milk a bit at a time until it's all been added and the beverage has an even color, with no suspended particles of chocolate. Drink immediately.
