After a trip to Hotel Chocolat in the UK I became obsessed with being able to make an excellent hot chocolate at home. The key for me was being able to create a texture like velvet and incorporate the right amount of air into the drink.

A simple yet luxurious hot chocolate that is perfect for those winter nights. You can use the type of chocolate that suits you, I am using a chocolate with 70% cocoa content. I am also using a full fat milk. In my opinion the fat content in the milk helps to carry the and intensify the chocolate flavour.

If you don’t have an aerator then consider investing in one. I use a stand frother which I already owned as I use it to make cold coffees. I couldn’t find the model I have but have linked to the closest one I could find on Amazon.
