Cardamom Hot Chocolate

Real chocolate, warm milk and a whisper of cardamom. A small luxury for cold evenings.

Serves 2 · 10 minutes

You'll need

  • 500 ml full-cream milk
  • 100 g good dark or milk chocolate, chopped (or callets)
  • 3 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
  • 1 small stick of cinnamon
  • 1–2 tsp sugar, to taste
  • A pinch of salt

Method

  1. Warm the milk with the cardamom and cinnamon over a low heat for 5 minutes. Don't let it boil.
  2. Remove the spices, then whisk in the chocolate until melted and smooth.
  3. Add sugar and a pinch of salt to taste. Whisk until frothy and serve straight away.

Tip: a little grated nutmeg on top makes it extra cosy.
