Making Cherry Hot Chocolate

Video Transcript

"Hi, I’m Scott for Expert Village and today I’m going to teach you how to make Cherry Hot Chocolate. Here’s some of the ingredients that we need in order to make this delicious treat; five pieces of chocolate, some grenadine, maraschino cherries, a little bit of vanilla and a glass of milk. To get this recipe started the first thing that we have to do is add a glass of milk, the next step is of course to add our chocolate. Make sure when you melt it down to keep the pan at about a medium setting so you don’t burn the chocolate. Be sure to keep stirring everything that is contained within the pan so that nothing sticks to the bottom and starts to burn. This is very important. Now we can go ahead and add our vanilla. Okay, it’s mixing together nicely, the next liquid ingredient that we have to add is a little bit of grenadine, you can pick this up at any supermarket nationwide. So take off the lid and you’re going to want to add, just a little bit maybe about a tablespoons worth, you just pour that in there. And you let it mix together very nicely and it should have a nice aroma to it. Finally the last step of this process is to grab our maraschino cherries, we’re just going to open up this container, we’re just going to put a few of these little guys in the bottom, and they’re going to heat up and when you’re drinking it out of the cup they’re going to be at the bottom. Boy are they delicious when they’re warm. Once you have it in there, we’re pretty much finished. So now we just keep mixing this up until the chocolate is completely done. You pick up your hot chocolate that you just made, you’ve got to be sure that you’re careful when you’re pouring it because sometimes you spill over a little bit. Grab your cinnamon take a little pinch of it and sprinkle it on top. Now you can’t always expect to get it right the first time, that’s why you’ve got to try it a few times, but once you get it right you’ll figure out exactly how to do it to your specifications.
