- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE SPANISH-COCOA B "13 Nov 86" 1987
- .RZ "CASTILLIAN HOT CHOCOLATE" "Thick, rich Spanish hot chocolate"
- I first tasted this wonderful beverage while touring in
- northern Spain with a choir.
- It's not like any hot chocolate I've had anywhere else,
- and I was
- delighted to find a recipe in \fIThe Vegetarian
- Epicure Book Two\fR. It is the best hot chocolate in the world (at least to
- me.)
- .IH "Serves 6"
- .IG "\(12 cup" "unsweetened powdered cocoa" "55 g"
- .IG "1 cup" "sugar" "200 g"
- .IG "7 tsp" "cornstarch" "25 g"
- (cornflour)
- .IG "\(12 cup" "water" "120 ml"
- .IG "4 cups" "milk" "1 l"
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Mix the cocoa and sugar together.
- .SK 2
- Dissolve the cornstarch (cornflour) in the water and combine
- with the cocoa-sugar mixture in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Stir this until it is a smooth paste.
- .SK 3
- Begin heating this mixture, continuously stirring it with a whisk.
- Gradually pour in the milk.
- Continue stirring as you bring it to a simmer.
- .SK 4
- Simmer, stirring often, for about 10 minutes.
- The cocoa is ready when it thickens and is glossy and smooth.
- .NX
- The consistency of the finished product should resemble
- chocolate pudding that didn't quite set.
- If you halve this recipe, you'll get just the right amount for
- two large mug-fulls.
- This cocoa is especially fantastic when you dip churros into
- it (a churro is a sugary, deep-fried, doughnut-like stick,
- and if anyone wants to send out a recipe, I'd be most
- grateful).
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 15 minutes.
