Chocolate with Boiling Water

Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a cup.

Pour in about half a cup of boiling water.

Stir and swirl vigorously with a teaspoon for about 2–3 minutes. Keep stirring until the mixture turns into a smooth, uniform emulsion. The more actively you stir, the better the emulsion will be.

Top off with boiling water to fill the cup. Add sugar if desired (especially if you used dark rather than milk chocolate).

The drink has a pure, clean chocolate flavor. If you like, you can add a little condensed milk, though that will give it a slightly different taste. Ready to drink right away.
