Happy Hot Chocolate Recipe

submitted by Ilene Bergelson

The Goods:

One 3.5 oz bar of unsweetened chocolate (90-100% cacao is best)
3 cups organic milk (almond, rice, cow, goat- whatever :)
2 teaspoons pure organic vanilla extract
organic agave nectar to taste
medium pot (3-4 qt)
wire wisk

Putting it all together:

Pour the milk in a 3-4 qt. pot and heat on a medium flame.
While heating, break up the chocolate into small chunks.
When milk is nearly hot, add chocolate and stir quickly with wisk.
Heat until mixture is hot and chocolate is melted. Keep stirring!
It may start to bubble a little-that's ok.-it's done!
Turn off heat, add vanilla, pour into cups and add agave to taste. Yum!
