Hot Chocolate Recipe

Ingredients:

      2 1/2 cups whole milk
      2 cups half-and-half

      4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
      1 teaspoon vanilla extract
      1 teaspoon instant coffee
      whipped cream and cocoa powder, for garnish
Directions:

In a large saucepan set over medium heat, combine the milk and half-and-half just below the simmering point.  Remove the pan from the heat, and add both chocolates, stirring until the chocolates have completely melted.  Once melted, add the vanilla extract and espresso powder, and whisk vigorously.  Reheat slightly, and serve with whipped cream and cocoa powder if desired.
