How to Make Parisian Hot Chocolate

In a medium saucepan heat the milk and the vanilla over medium-low heat. Do not let the milk boil, as you do not want a skin to form on the milk.

Then turn the heat to low and add the chopped chocolate to the hot milk. Whisk the mixture over a gentle simmer until the chocolate is melted and you achieve the desired consistency. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Don’t rush the process.
