So for my second post I wanted to take the classic Hot Chocolate recipe I showed you in my first post and play with it. While one of the ingredients is a little difficult to find depending upon where you live, it tastes amazing mixed with the white chocolate!
So for this recipe you will need…
A mug
A small pot
A whisk
White Chocolate chips
Matcha powder; the cheapest I found was at an organic food store in the tea section. It cost me about $8, but it lasts quite a bit and oh the recipes you can make!
Milk; 1%, 2%, Skim, your choice
Honey; optional
Now the first thing you want to do is place the small pot on the burner and fill your mug with milk.
Next, take a little less than a 1/4 cup of the White Chocolate Chips and place them in the pot along with about 1 Tbsp of milk from your mug. Turn the burner on low and stir constantly until the chocolate chips have melted and combined with the milk.
Now you need your Matcha. Take about a 1/4 tsp of the Matcha Powder and add it to the mix. Stir to combine. (Note; the Matcha Powder might not completely dissolve into the mix so if you want to use a strainer at the end when you are pouring it into your mug feel free to do so.)
Once the Matcha Powder has been mixed in, pour in the rest of your milk and stir until the milk is hot. Also if you want to add the honey, now is the time to do so.
Pour back into your mug and Enjoy! The White Chocolate mixed with the Matcha Powder gives the milk a light green color and the sweet chocolate chips combined with the bitter matcha powder are really pleasing!
Mmm Delicious!
