Food writer and former pastry chef David Lebovitz (author of The Great Book of Chocolate) supplies a recipe from Brussels chocolatier Wittamer, which uses a combination of plain and milk chocolate in a 2:1 ratio – although he cautions that the reader"should seek out a good quality one. Most of the better ones list the percentage of cacao on the label ... and are likely to taste better than those bars where a small amount of chocolate is used basically as a colourant". It's more joyously rich than the plain chocolate versions I've tried, while retaining the same savoury edge that made them a more interesting proposition than the simple milk chocolate version – the best of both worlds, in other words. When it comes to chocolate, those Belgians really do know what they're doing. For some, the TASSIMO machine is known as the 'TASSIMO hot chocolate machine', as they use it mainly for Hot Cocoa.

Your hot chocolate will be ready before you know it. Not looking for hot chocolate pods? Have a look at all drink pods or try coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiato pods.

The Maya are also, presumably, the inspiration for the two red chillies in the Waitrose recipe – they liked their chocolate spicy, although also, apparently, cold. (The Aztecs were also fond of the stuff: Montezuma's court is reputed to have got through 2,000 cups a day, 50 of which were consumed by the emperor himself.) The heat the peppers provide is surprisingly subtle, but, while pleasant, it doesn't fit my idea of a soothing drink.Did you know that all official TASSIMO chocolate pods also called T DISCs are compatible with every TASSIMO machine? This means that your hot chocolate capsules will fit into all TASSIMO machines. Take a look at all coffee machines to discover which one you prefer. How to make Hot Chocolate with hot chocolate pods from TASSIMO? Proper hot chocolate is a piece of culinary first aid that ought to be in everyone's repertoire – I like to keep it simple, but this recipe is easy to customise with anything from cardamom to Nigel Slater's intriguing suggestion of lavender. Experiment – all you have to lose is your waistline. I'm not, however, quite as sophisticated as Mr Nigel Slater, who sighs that "most chocolate has too much sugar in to be satisfactory for making a hot drink. It ends up more like something you might pour over your profiteroles". As I abhor that staple of the buffet table, this intrigues me – could I be about to break through to another level of hot chocolatey perfection? "If you want to take the drink seriously," he continues (oh I do Nigel, I promise) "use the most bitter chocolate you can find ... then sweeten it yourself".
You probably already know the delicious taste of Milka milk chocolate - but did you know that you can now also get Milka as a delicious hot cocoa drink, where you can enjoy the taste of the famous milk chocolate from the Alps in liquid form?

I call on you, my readers, the chosen ones, to rise up, cast out the powder, banish the kettle, and lead on unto the one true union of real chocolate, and creamy warm milk. Lo! Heaven on earth, in a mug. Continue to heat until the mixture is hot, but not boiling, then add the cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Taste, adjust if necessary, and serve. For a frothy finish, whisk vigorously just before pouring.
