- Mix the cocoa and sugar together.
- Dissolve the cornstarch (cornflour) in the water and combine with the cocoa-sugar mix in a medium-sized saucepan. Stir this till it is a smooth paste.
- Begin heating this mix, continuously stirring it with a whisk. Gradually pour in the lowfat milk. Continue stirring as you bring it to a simmer.
- Simmer, stirring often, for about 10 min. The cocoa is ready when it thickens and is glossy and smooth.
- I first tasted this wonderful beverage while touring in northern Spain with a choir. It's not like any warm chocolate I've had anywhere else, and I was delighted to find a recipe in The Vegetarian Epicure Book Two. It is the best warm chocolate in the world (at least to me.)
- The consistency of the finished product should resemble chocolate pudding which 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).
- Difficulty : easy.
- Precision : measure the ingredients.
