Tiffany has been hard at work on her biology lab homework for the past three hours. This comes on top of the entire day she spent yesterday in her pajamas, laptop planted on the ottoman and her books spread over every upholstered surface in our living room. She's a student and man I remember those days. Except that Tiffany is a much better undergraduate student than I was. So as a little kingdom, phylum, class, order, uh... yeah, we'll take a break there for a little pick-me-up in a cup.
Hot Chocolate--Straight Up, One Cup.
1 TBS. organic semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup low-fat grass fed milk
1 TBS. grass fed half & half
1 1/2 TBS. organic cane sugar
1 TBS. dutch cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla
6 or 7 grains of coarse sea salt, or literally the tiniest pinch you could manage of regular salt
In a small sauce pot, over medium-low heat, lightly melt the chocolate chips. It will take probably less than 30 seconds.
Add all of the rest of the ingredients and whisk, turning the heat up to medium-high, until the hot chocolate is completely combined and just barely begins to bubble. It will take one or two minutes. Don't let it boil.
Pour into your cup and warm someone up, or yourself. Or double, triple, etc. the recipe to make enough for a crowd.
Enjoy! And always remember to eat well and buy local. Goodnight, folks.
