Please recommend quality hot chocolate. If it goes well with soya milk even better.

I thought solid chocolate doesn't melt well enough for that kind of method

>>15708765
instructions say drop in some boiling water, allow it to melt and then top up with milk and steam. they are very precise about the instructions.

best packaged hot chocolate, it's not hella sweet like other brands. i like to cook mine with some cinnamon and cloves. easy to make champurrado with if you have masa harina

also soya is some femboy shit. oat milk is the best plant milk for warm drinks

[Anonymous No.15708925]

>>15708915
sure oat milk best if you like clumpy floury gritty shit in your beverages. thanks but no thanks

>Nestle
I would be surprised if what that tin contained was cocoa and not naturally sourced dried ground up African children.

Also

>oat milk best milk
Nah, almond milk blows it out of the water

almond milk is the plant equivalent of skim milk. also no ethical consumption under capitalism.

nah fr tho that's the only nestle product i'll buy, it's unfortunate that they manufacture it

[Anonymous No.15708958]

>>15708950
I disagree with the sim milk statement, hell I'll take almond milk any day before skim milk (whole milk Chad's rise up)

Though he me more interested in what you're saying about the unethical consumption of almond milk (also I'm european if that matters for the labor source of the milk)

USA almond industry is a huge cockfuck because they grow them in the desert in California and securing the water supply for the almond trees fucks over half the western USA, not to mention N*stle basically moving in and stealing whole water systems upstream and selling the water back to the people they stole it from
America is a disaster

Christ. Thanks for the heads up. I wanted to know, from a USA denizen's experience what do you think about gates buying up a shit ton of farmland? Do you think he will help the industry, or fuck it over?

[Anonymous No.15709063]

>>15708958
i'm not sure where y'all get almond milk from in europe, but i wouldn't doubt it if it took a huge carbon footprint to get there.

basically what >>15708981 said about the limited water supply being fucked up in favor of industrialized farms, also almost all californian produce is off the backs of underpaid migrant workers.

unless every single product you consume is sourced locally and ethically, all the corporations that factor in to the manufacture of any single good do so in a way that prioritizes profit over human and environmental welfare

I just make my own.

I guess you gotta find soya creamer.

[Anonymous No.15709153]

>>15709003
imo shit's already fucked. industrialized agriculture is already hellish to work in, and notorious for cutting as many corners as possible to sell the most product for the least cost. having one of the richest people in the world running that shit is only gonna exacerbate those issues. i'm not sure if other countries have a food pyramid, because in america it's sponsored by the department of agriculture in order to push cheap low nutrition shit like bread and dairy. really a huge contributing factor to america's weight problem. gates obviously has enough buying power for the usda to back him, and i wouldn't be surprised if they were already linked somehow. the only difference is now he'll be in direct control of high crop yields that can be sold in favor of his interests

Go to your local baker's wholesaler and ask for "chocolate liquor" or "cocoa liquor". That's the product that comes out of the conching process. It's got no additives and (ideally) the original ration of cocoa solids to cocoa butter as was in the bean.
To make a hot chocolate beverage, melt the chocolate (I use microwave) and distribute the melted mass in whatever carrier liquid you want: hot water, steamed milk, etc. The trick is to keep the chocolate emulsified in the beverage, and to do that you have to go slow. Add the carrier very slowly at first; you're first making something like a ganache. They'll be a point where the mixture turns glossy like a syrup, at which point it's ready to be quickly diluted.
I started this way because I couldn't easily find a dark chocolate that was dark enough. I stopped using sugar entirely about a decade ago. Surprisingly, even a tiny amount of sugar suppresses the bouquet of a cocoa liquor.
