Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup half-and-half, scalded
2 1/2 cups milk, scalded
1/3 cup creme de menthe (to taste)
2 tbsp creme de cacao (to taste)
whipped cream
shaved bittersweet chocolate

Directions:

In a heavy saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, water, vanilla, and a pinch of salt: heat the mixture over low heat, whisking, until the cocoa powder is dissolved and the mixture is a smooth paste.
Gradually add the half-and-half and the milk, (both scalded), and simmer hot chocolate, whisking, for 2 minutes.
Stir in the crème de menthe and the crème de cacao.
Note: (For a frothy result, in a blender blend the hot chocolate in batches.)
Divide the chocolate among mugs and top it with the whipped cream and the chocolate.
