Recipe for Hot Chocolate

This is a basic one, but it was recently requested by a friend. In my opinion this basic recipe makes the best hot chocolate. As you're drinking it, a sheet of melted chocolate/cream will form on to the top of the chocolate as you drink it, and gives it wonderful texture.

I use Burdick's chocolate, which is my main secret to the recipe, but if you have any real chocolate and shave/grate it, you will be able to make something similar.

Take milk and heat it, stirring often so that it doesn't burn at the bottom of your pot. Once it gets foamy then whisk in as much chocolate as you want till well blended. You can heat it for a few more seconds or remove. Also, you can add sugar and/or flavored syrup to give it extra flavor. This may be expecially important if you use Burdick's dark chocolate. If you want to make the hot chocolate very creamy, then use half'n'half instead of milk. If you want an extra sweat hot chocolate, make a Black and white - using dark chocolate and white chocolate.

And for even more extra zing, replace the flavored syrup with some peppermint schnapps at the very end. Sweetness with kick. Mmm.
