Spanish Hot Chocolate

2 cups Full Cream Milk
4oz 70% Cocoa Chocolate
1/2 teaspoon Instant Coffee
Pinch of Nutmeg

Add all the ingredients to a saucepan over a low heat. Once the chocolate has melted the heat can be turned up because the milk needs to reach boiling point so it can be frothed. Remove from heat and whisk it strongly till frothy. Heat again and then whisk again - it should be frothier this time. Serve in a couple of mugs.

This is a lovely drink during those cold winter nights. It must be stressed that you need to use proper FULL cream milk, the fat helps develop the texture of the drink. Cinnamon can be used instead of nutmeg
