Steps
Pour the milk of your choice into a pot.
Sift in the cocoa powder to avoid lumps and add the sugar. Stir well to combine.
Heat the mixture over low heat for about seven minutes.
Make the cornflour slurry by mixing the cornflour with two tablespoons of milk until smooth.
Pour the cornflour slurry into the chocolate milk and stir until the hot chocolate begins to thicken.
Break apart a bar of milk or dark chocolate and stir it into the hot chocolate mixture.
Continue stirring until the drink becomes rich, smooth, and even thicker.
Turn off the heat and pour the hot chocolate into your mug.
Add marshmallows, whipped cream, or anything you enjoy for serving.
Notes
The author suggests that this drink is luxuriously thick and pudding-like. You can use any milk of your choice. Ensure you sift the cocoa powder to prevent lumps.
