Who doesn’t love a warm cup of rich and indulgent cocoa? If you’re a fan of intense flavors and prefer your cocoa on the bitter side, we’ve got just the recipe for you. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the steps of making bitter cocoa from scratch. So, grab your favorite cocoa powder and let’s get started!

What you’ll need:

  • 2 cups of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream or marshmallows (optional, for serving)

Step 1: Heat the Milk

Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it over medium-low heat. Be careful not to boil it, as overheating can scorch the milk and affect the taste. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.

Step 2: Add the Cocoa Powder and Sugar

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined. Slowly add this mixture into the heated milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to heat the mixture until it reaches your desired temperature.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

Pour the bitter cocoa into your favorite mug and top it with whipped cream or marshmallows if desired. Serve hot and savor every sip of this deliciously dark indulgence. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Tips and Variations

  • Experiment with different types of cocoa powder to find your preferred level of bitterness. Dark or Dutch-processed cocoa powder often yields deeper flavors.
  • If you prefer a stronger chocolate taste, increase the amount of cocoa powder slightly.
  • You can substitute sugar with honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute according to your dietary preferences.
  • Add a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a delightful twist.
  • For an extra indulgent treat, add a splash of your favorite liqueur, such as peppermint schnapps or Irish cream.

Now that you know how to make your own bitter cocoa at home, go ahead and give it a try. It’s the perfect beverage to cozy up with on a chilly evening or as a delightful treat anytime you crave a rich and dark indulgence. Enjoy!
