Chef Guido and Sally, and our Convivio Rome team want to help you get into the Christmas Spirit by sending you a gift!
Chef Guido wants to share with you, his special family recipe for Italian Hot Chocolate. The type of hot chocolate that is sooooo thick you can stand your spoon up in it! Enjoy!



Italian Hot Chocolate: Ingredients (serves 6):
Half a litre (1.05 pt or 2 cups) of milk, 80 g (2.8 oz) of granulated white sugar, 20g (0.7 oz) of maize flour, 1 bar of dark chocolate (100g or 3.5 oz), 30g of cocoa powder.
Method: Put cocoa powder and maize flour into a pot and mix well. Start pouring the milk a little at a time to make a paste first, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add all the milk and place the pot on medium heat, stirring from time to time. When the mixture begins to boil, break the chocolate into pieces and melt into the mixture. Once all the ingredients are perfectly mixed, the hot chocolate is ready to be served. 

Buon appetito!
