This recipe is made with a combination of cocoa powder and chocolate chips. The cocoa powder adds the distinct “hot cocoa” flavor, and the chocolate chips melt into the mixture making this drink extra creamy, rich and luxurious. A splash of vanilla extract rounds out all that chocolaty flavor and makes this what I consider the perfect Homemade Hot Chocolate.

Whisk, whisk, whisk in the beginning to make sure the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and the sugar is dissolved in the hot water, and keep whisking after adding the milk.

In his 1590 text, Natural and Moral History of the Indies, the Spanish Jesuit José de Acosta recorded Indigenous peoples adding chile and spices to their chocolate. In his own research, renowned Mexican chef Ricardo Muñoz Zurita found evidence that chocolate was seasoned with allspice, vanilla, and edible flowers, and it was sometimes sweetened with honey from melipona bees. “The drink was bitter and not sweet as it is known today, but it was a good bitterness,” Zurita says.
