Make the Hot Chocolate Base
2 In a medium sauce pot, combine the milk, sugar and cocoa powder.
3 Heat over medium/high heat until it is just boiling; whisking it frequently. Continue heating until the mixture just begins to boil.
4 While the milk is heating up, finely chop the chocolate and place it into a heat safe bowl.
5 Once the milk is boiling, pour it over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute.
6 After the minute has passed, whisk the chocolate and milk together until all of the chocolate has melted into the milk. This should take about 5 minutes. 
7 Place the hot chocolate mixture in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 2 hours but up to 2 days in advance.
