Step by step

Add the cinnamon and ginger

Tips
If you are making hot chocolate for children, don’t add the cinnamon, ginger and chilli which they may not like. Another tip: hot chocolate, just like risotto, should be stirred all the time! Use a wooden spoon and have patience. This will prevent the formation of lumps and you will also ensure that the chocolate does not stick to the bottom of the pan. It will be worthwhile! Finally, we suggest you make your hot chocolate even more delicious with the addition of whipped cream and, perhaps, some sprinklings of dark chocolate on the top.
Trivia
It seems that among the first to make hot chocolate were the ancient populations of Central America that mixed their native beans with hot chocolate. Chocolate is rich in antioxidants, it helps regulate vascular tone and also has a cardio-protective effect, whilst also improving skin hydration.
