I have made many of the recipes that can be found online, and none of them were worth mentioning. But then I came across this 100 year old recipe which, in my sons words, “is the best hot chocolate that I have ever tasted”.
It was so good that I made a video just to share it with you.
Here is the recipe as featured in the 100 year old cookbook:
Choice Recipes by Miss Maria Parloa specifically prepared for Walter Baker & Co Ltd.
PLAIN CHOCOLATE
For six people, use one quart of milk, two ounces of Water Baker & Co.’s Premium No.1 Chocolate, one tablespoonful of cornstarch, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, and two tablespoonfuls of hot water.
Mix the cornstarch with one gill of the milk. Put the remainder of the milk on to heat in the double-boiler. When the milk comes to the boiling point, stir in the cornstarch and cook for ten minutes. Have the chocolate cut in fine bits, and put put in a small, iron or granite-ware pan; add the sugar and water, and place the pan over a hot fire. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Add this to the hot milk, and beat the mixture with a whisk until cut is frothy. Or, the chocolate may be poured back and forth from they boiler to pitcher, holding high the vessel from which you pour. This will give a thick froth. Serve at once.

I wish they still wrote cookbooks like that. 🤣. “Drink this delicious hot cocoa daily for long life”.
