artisans-and-chefs

Ingredients

44g Cocoa Powder Terra Rossa
88g Cocoa Butter
190g Whole Milk
35g Brown Sugar

Cocoa powder suggestions:

Terra Rossa : cocoa, velvety flavor
Rich Terracotta: full chocolate flavor
True Dark: acidic / cocoa flavor

Milk can be infused with spices and herbs for alternate flavor, such as chai spices, cinnamon, vanilla, peppermint (or regular mint)

Method

In a heat-proof bowl, add the cocoa butter and melt over (low heat) bain-marie until 42-45ºC.
Once at correct temperature, add cocoa powder and blend thoroughly with a hand-blender to rid of all cocoa powder lumps. Set aside until ready to use.
In a saucepan, add the milk and sugar. Bring to a soft boil.
Take off heat. Add 1/3 of milk mixture to the cocoa mixture, whisking continuously (mixture will become a thick ganache like texture).
Gradually add the rest of the milk while whisking continuously.
Once well combined, pour into desired mug.
To be enjoyed warm as is.
