teas.co.uk · 6 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 4 heaped teaspoons of Islands Milk Hot Chocolate Flakes (about 25g)
• 250ml whole milk
• 1 warmed 300ml mug
• 1 small heavy based saucepan
• 1 small balloon whisk

Method

1. Warm a mug with hot water and tip it out.
2. Warm the milk gently in a small pan until it just steams; do not let it boil.
3. Take it off the heat and whisk in the chocolate flakes, stirring for a couple of minutes until they melt completely and the milk turns a deep, even brown.
4. Return it to a low heat for half a minute to bring it back up to drinking temperature, whisking all the time.
5. Pour into the mug and drink hot; it needs no sugar, as the flakes are real chocolate.
6. A tiny pinch of salt whisked in at the end lifts the chocolate without making it taste salty.
