- Why didn't the chocolate melt?
- The milk wasn't hot enough, or the chocolate pieces were too large. Chop the chocolate finely before adding it to the milk.
Honey & chocolate latte
This drink is essentially a variation on a 'Mocha', where honey replaces sugar as the sweetener. The floral notes of the honey make the chocolate flavour more complex. The key to success is mixing the base homogeneously: the thick chocolate and honey must dissolve completely in the hot liquid before the milk foam is added, otherwise a dense mass will remain at the bottom.
