My modern version of 18th century hot chocolate.
I worked months on trying to get this right. I have used all modern items that can be purchased at the grocery store. Of course, you can change it to fit your taste, it won't hurt my feelings.
See my review of the pre-made brand American Heritage
1/2 cup Hershies Cocoa
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Mix together, then
1 cup milk heated
3-4 tablespoons of mixture per cup stirring frequently.
Add 1/8 teaspoon vanilla
Enjoy.
(Makes 3-5 cups depending upon how much chocolate you want.)

Great recipe! I just tried a batch. It's not a sugary as the modern stuff. I think I'm going to bag some up and take it to work to replace my morning coffee.

Lady,
ReplyDeleteThank you, and I hope that you enjoy it. Please let me know your opinion when you try it. I must admit that I haven't tried the chocolate at Williamsburg, but only the packaged type. But, I look forward to letting me know how it measures to theirs. (I am sure not as well!)
Elroy,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited that you like it! Thank you for letting me know. :D
