No. 3497 — Hot Chocolate
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3497 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
For 1 bottle (3 glasses) of milk use ⅛–¼ pound chocolate. Grate or cut the chocolate into pieces, bring to a boil with the milk while stirring frequently, and pour into cups.
Serve sugar separately. A spoonful of thick whipped cream may be added to each cup.
The Russian website also links to a later editorial collection of modern hot-chocolate recipes.
