## Summary

A smooth, glossy hot chocolate made the cafe way: mix the powder to a paste first, then add frothed milk. Cream and caramel optional.

## Description

The difference between a lumpy, watery hot chocolate and a smooth, glossy one is a simple two-step trick. First mix the powder with a small amount of hot water into a thick, smooth paste, which gets rid of any lumps. Then stir in warm, frothed milk to lengthen it.
