Hot Chocolate Chai Latte The perfect cup of decadence sure to please everyone. Try one of our adult twists! Makes 1 serving 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 1 tablespoon granulated sugar Tiny pinch of kosher salt (optional) 3 tablespoons hot water ¹⁄8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract ¾ cup whole milk ¼ cup heavy cream, whipped to a medium-soft peak and lightly sweetened to taste 1. Put the chopped chocolate, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt, if using, into a large mug. Add the hot water and whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Whisk in vanilla. 2. Put the milk into a separate heatproof mug. Hold the mug in one hand and place under the steam wand so the bottom of the wand is just below the surface of the milk at an angle. Select the Steam function and press the START/STOP knob to start steaming. While holding the mug at an angle, allow the steam to move the milk around. Once the milk begins to increase in volume, lift the mug up higher so the steam wand immerses deeper into the milk. When you can feel that the milk in the mug is quite hot, press the START/STOP knob to stop steaming. Tap the mug a few times to remove any larger bubbles. 3. Slowly pour the steamed milk into the mug with chocolate mixture. Whisk to combine. Top the drink off with about 2 tablespoons of the whipped cream. 4. Serve immediately. With so many artisanal chai concentrates to choose from nowadays, you can make your own barista-worthy cuppa right at home. Makes 1 serving ½ cup sweetened or unsweetened chai concentrate ½ cup milk (dairy or nondairy) 1. Put the chai concentrate into a large mug. 2. Put the milk into a separate heatproof mug. Hold the mug in one hand and place under the steam wand so the bottom of the wand is just below the surface of the milk at an angle. Select the Steam function and press the START/STOP knob to start steaming. While holding the mug at an angle, allow the steam to move the milk around. Once the milk begins to increase in volume, lift the mug up higher so the steam wand immerses deeper into the milk (this will prevent large bubbles from forming and will make a nice fine milk foam). When the foam has almost reached the top of the mug and you can feel that the milk in the mug is quite hot, press the START/STOP knob to stop steaming. Tap the mug a few times to remove any larger bubbles. 3. Slowly pour the steamed milk, holding back the foam, into the mug with chai concentrate. 4. Serve immediately. Dirty Chai: Brew 1 espresso capsule into the mug with the chai concentrate. Hot Chocolate Toddy: Add 2 tablespoons bourbon or dark rum to the chocolate mixture. Espresso Hot Chocolate: Brew 1 espresso capsule into the chocolate mixture. 26
