Hot chocolate drink

I had a bit of a sore throat last Saturday after going to a particularly smoky pub on Friday night. Too bad it is a smoky place, it is great for pub games: pool, darts, and table football. Not that I am good at any of them (due to lack of practice), but it is great fun!

In any case, I had a sore throat on Saturday. And what is the nicest thing to have when you have a sore throat? A hot chocolate drink with honey!

I had not made these for years and had forgotten how nice and mouth-melting it is.

Makes 2 hot chocolate drinks:

1 pint milk (600ml)
100g dark cooking chocolate
2 cinnamon stick or 1 TSP ground cinnamon
honey (optional but who could resist???)

heat the milk in a pan. Break the chocolate into piece and add to the milk. Keep stirring while the chocolate melt. Add the ground cinnamon if you do not use the cinnamon stick. When all the chocolate is melted, pour the drink into 2 big mugs. Use the cinnamon sticks as stirrers if using.
Add the desired quantity of honey, stir well, and it is ready!

Pour 2 chocolats chauds:

600ml lait
100g chocolat noir á cuire
2 batons de cannelle ou bien 1 c. café de cannelle en poudre
miel (optionel mais qui pourrait résister ???)

Faire chauffer le lait dans une casserole. Casser le chocolat en morceaux et ajouter au lait tout en remuant jusqu'á ce que le chocolat fonde. Ajouter la cannelle en poudre si vous l'utilisez. Quand tout est bien fondu, verser dans 2 grandes tasses. Utiliser les batons de cannelles comme touillettes si vous avez des batons de cannelles. Ajouter du miel selon votre gout, et dégustez !
