Step by step method

  • Step 1

    In a heavy saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, water, vanilla, and a pinch of salt: heat the mixture over low heat, whisking, until the cocoa powder is dissolved and the mixture is a smooth paste.

  • Step 2

    Gradually add the half-and-half and the milk, (both scalded), and simmer hot chocolate, whisking, for 2 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Stir in the crème de menthe and the crème de cacao.

  • Step 4

    Divide the chocolate among mugs and top it with the whipped cream and the chocolate.

Tips & variations

  • For a frothy result, in a blender blend the hot chocolate in batches.
