Put the remainder of the milk on to heat in the double-boiler.  When the milk comes to the boiling point, stir in the cornstarch and cook for ten minutes.  Have the chocolate cut in fine bits, and put put in a small, iron or granite-ware pan; add the sugar and water, and place the pan over a hot fire.  Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and glossy.  Add this to the hot milk, and beat the mixture with a whisk until cut is frothy.  Or, the chocolate may be poured back and forth from they boiler to pitcher, holding high the vessel from which you pour.  This will give a thick froth.  Serve at once.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-550x309.jpg\" alt=\"home made hot chocolate recipe\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-133592\" data-wp-pid=\"133592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-1200x675-cropped.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n \n<h4 align=center>My Cookbook<\/h4>\n<p align=center>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/cook-crazy-sweet-creations-cookbook-ann-reardon\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"40%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hardcover-book-mockup-of-a-woman-reading-3409-el1.png\" alt=\"ann reardon crazy sweet creations cookbook\" title=\"Crazy Sweet Creations Cookbook\" style=\"opacity: 0.8; -moz-opacity: 0.8;\" class=\"fade\" \/><\/a>\n<\/br>\nStores that sell my book listed by country:  \n<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARcookbook\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARcookbook<\/a>\n<\/br>\nAll recipe quantities in the book are in grams, ounces and cups.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/best-home-made-hot-chocolate-ever\/\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-150x150.jpg\" class=\"alignleft tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"home made hot chocolate recipe\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-1200x1200-cropped.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/hot-chocoalte-ann-reardon-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-wp-pid=\"133592\" \/><\/a><p>&nbsp; The search for the best hot chocolate recipe has taken me years.
