Summer Break: Day 24

We've recently had some wet, rainy, slightly gloomy days. And cold too. I decided to make some hot chocolate today to fight off the chill. But not just ANY hot chocolate.

When Mr. WhiMSy love & I visited Argentina many years ago, we had our first taste of Argentine chocolate. MMMmmmmm! And we also had what's called 'El Submarino'. It's a hot chocolate drink & I just think the way it is prepared is so fun!
I found a recipe & wanted to share it with you.


Mix in a pot, on the stove:
 4 CUPS milk
1/4 CUP sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
 Heat it up until right before it boils.
(Ah, the sweet smell brought me back...)
Pour the milk mixture into 4 mugs.
Serve with a big rectangle (1 ounce) of dark chocolate.

The chocolate is the "submarine" & must be sunk in the milk. Stir around until it melts.
Enjoy!
