Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup cold water
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup half-and-half
2 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup creme de menthe , or to taste
2 tbsp creme de cacao , or to taste
whipped cream and shaved bittersweet chocolate for garnish

Directions:

In a heavy saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, the sugar, the water, the vanilla, and a pinch of salt and 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 the hot chocolate, whisking, for 2 minutes. Stir in the crème de menthe and the crème de cacao. (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.
