1st of January, tradition in Spain, chocolate a la taza. I had to learn to make this one from scratch. So easy. I followed this recipe but cut it in half for 2 people, if you want it for 4, double amounts.
INGREDIENTS:
-125 grams of chocolate with high amounts of cocoa.
I used half of each in the photo.
-500 ml of milk.
-1 spoonful pretty heaped of cornstarch.
-1 teaspoon of sugar (or even 2!).
-1 pinch of salt to release chocolate flavours.
STEPS:
1. Heat up milk in a stove stirring constantly and bring it to a boil.
2. Once it is boiling add the chocolate that you have previously cut in pieces. Continue stirring, and lower fire until it all dissolves. Keep stirring.
3. In meantime, dissolve the cornstarch in some milk, like 10 ml. Now bring the chocolate mix to a boil and then add the cornstarch dissolved in milk.
4. Keep stirring and mix it everything well, put a pinch of salt and continue stirring for about 1o minutes and it will start to thicken, and now again and for the last time, this would be the third time, bring the mixture to a boil.
5. That's it. Remove from stove and serve. You can add sugar if you want now. My husband added sugar to his chocolate, but sugar is really optional to each person's taste.
