Milk Chocolate

4 servings

Ingredients

• 125 g Chocolate, good sweet
• Water (a little)
• 1.5 l Milk, raw
• Sugar (as needed)

Instructions

1. No fixed rule can be given for a specific measurement, as this depends on the quality of the chocolate and taste.
2. Good, sweet chocolate is usually calculated at 125 grams per 1½ liters or 15 grams per 1 cup, with a little more for cooking.
3. Less bitter chocolate is sufficient.
4. Place the grated chocolate with just enough water to cover it on the fire; as soon as it has softened completely, stir into a uniform paste and add raw milk, which can be diluted with one-third water, making the drink tastier and more digestible.
5. Then add any remaining sugar and let everything boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
