On cold days like these, nothing warms me over more than a mug of rich hot chocolate. The cuppa cocoa from TCHO's Pier 17 cafe is made with three varieties of sustainable chocolate to be stirred, not shaken.

Makes 1

3-4 tablespoons TCHO crumbles

3/4 cup steamed milk, divided

1. Mix the chocolate in with half of the steaming milk. Stir briskly until the crumbles melt.

2. Stir in the remaining milk, and enjoy!
