It's a myth that hot chocolate is called 'hot chocolate'
because it involves bringing chocolate to a high temperature.
The truth is, hot chocolate means using 'hawt chocolate'.
So it's important to start with a chocolate that you find the hottest.
For this first cocoa powder-based hot chocolate,
you might consider a hot, tattooed barista cocoa powder,
or a can of hot lumbersexual cocoa powder.
I'll use one tablespoon (15 ml, about 5 g) of each to mix the best of
coffee making expertise with the ability to look rugged
while having no idea how to operate a chainsaw.
I'm heating up one cup of milk first but making sure not to boil it...
...exactly not like that.
Once it's hot, it makes mixing the cocoa super easy.
If the milk is cold, you'll be in hell trying to mix that up,
which is ironic because hell isn't cold it's hot.
It's full of fire and brimstone and shit,
so you'll want to try to avoid that.
The whisk is a great tool to use for maximum declumpification.
I'm adding in a pinch of salt to cut the bitterness
and to enhance the flavor of everything all the time.
I'm adding in 3 teaspoons (15 ml; 20 g) of honey to sweeten it.
Check it for W.A.B.S.
then adjust the sweetness and the chocolatiness to your liking.
Don't let the MAN tell you how sweet
or how chocolatey to have your hot chocolate.
Let me tell you instead.
3 teaspoons of honey.
[sips]
mmm.... That's a damn fine cup of hot chocolate/cocoa.
For hot chocolate number two, I've got artsy hot semisweet baking chocolate
and some hot intellectual semisweet baking chocolate
which allows us to infuse the beverage with beautiful insights,
stimulating thoughts,
and the ability to speak with aggressively abstract,
off-putting confidence.
We'll put in 4 to 6 squares of that semisweet chocolate.
We'll just get that milk heated up...
[milk sizzling]
Let's ignore that boiling again...
For me, this is already complete.
It's sweet enough. It tastes good.
You might want a little brown sugar, half to a full teaspoon (3-5 ml or grams)
Then I'm gonna razzle dazzle this one
with 1/8 of a teaspoon (0.6 ml; 200 mg) of ginger powder.
If you don't like awesome things,
I recommend not adding the ginger
because this kicks major ass.
[sips]
Mmmmmmmmmm...
That's a damn fine hot chocolate.
If you're not interested in making homemade hot chocolate,
you can get a packet from the store.
Simply mix it together with boiling water.
Then pour it into your bottle,
get inside your crib and read a nice story. :)
"There once was a little boy who wanted to make hot chocolate,"
"But he was too scared to put the ingredients together himself."
"So he made it from a package."
"And instead of growing up,"
"He spent his whole life being a big, big baby."
"And then he realized that he just had and adult baby fetish"
"And he found a partner who was totally into it and they lived happily ever after, free from the judgement of society."
The end.
For the third hot chocolate, which is a
deep, mysterious and complex hot chocolate,
we've got hawt surfer 85% dark chocolate
and some hawt raver 85% dark chocolate.
This combines two of the world greatest athletes:
the surfer is more of an explosive energy athlete,
while the raver is an endurance athlete.
But what's hawter than these two hawt chocolates?
The hawtest chocolate of them all:
the chocolate that's just being itself.
The chocolate whose identity
isn't based on how big of a wave it can surf,
what subgenre of minimal tech it can identify,
how many Nietzsche ideas it can articulate,
how rugged it looks.
It's just chocolate not needing to be anything other than chocolate.
[snaps]
Just kidding you lazy f*ck,
develop a style and be cool like
the rest of uhh-
of other people who have-
figured out how to do that... without trying too hard.
Or don't... I'm not sure.
We'll take 3 squares of the 85%,
1 cup (240 ml) of milk
2 or 3 teaspoons (10-15 ml; 15-20 g) of maple syrup,
a couple drops of vanilla,
and we're bringing that salt back.
This is a good hot chocolate if you wanna tell other people
that they probably don't have the palate to enjoy something so sophisticated.
[sips]
Mmmm,
that's a damn good hot chocolate.
And now you have an important decision to make.
Should you put marshmallows in your hot chocolate?
The answer is simple.
Look into your heart,
think about what you like,
and then say NO, you should not.
The reason why is because marshmallows are objectively bad.
They're really just a gimmick because marshmallows float.
It's like reverse bubble tea.
And if you think marshmallows are good,
let's do a quick comparison against other sweet things.
Marshmallows vs. Jujubes
Marshamllows vs. Sour Keys
Marshmallows vs. Chocolate Covered Almonds
Marshmallows vs. Stroopwafel
Marshmallows vs. Old Man Mints
Marshmallows vs. A Shot of Molasses
Marshmallows vs. Pizza Crust
Marshmallows vs. A Honey Dipped Powerstone
Marshmallows vs. A sponge with
sugar sprinkled on top
I think I made my point,
but just to be a good sport I'm gonna-
[sip]
[smacks lips]
Yup, nope, totally wrong.
Marshmallows are excellent with a classic hot cocoa.
But keep them the f*%# away
from the other two hot chocolates.
Have some dignity will you?
Or don't.
Just put marshmallows in everything, why don't you.
[sips]
In any case, this hot chocolate will get you through winter.
Or if you're living somewhere hot,
it can also get you through the winter of your discontent.
Milk those negative feelings for all they're worth
and bring yourself back with
with the delicious taste of homemade hot chocolate.
