Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a small saucepan, bring the milk to a boil, then immerse the torn mint leaves in it. Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it, and let it steep for 1 hour. Afterward, strain the milk through a sieve and, before discarding the mint, squeeze it well to extract as much aroma and essential oils as possible.
Step 2
Return the strained milk to the saucepan, place it back on the heat, add the cocoa powder and sugar, and cook for 1-2 minutes until ready. Remove from heat, add the bittersweet chocolate, let the mixture sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and whisk the drink a little for a hint of froth.
