  • pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder

Instruction

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, warm 1 1/4 cups of the milk or water with the sugar, salt, and cocoa powder.

  • Remove from heat and add the chocolate, the vanilla, and the coffee-flavored liqueur, if using. Stir in the remaining 1 cup milk.
