Ratio We recommend a 1:7.5 ratio, 1 part of ground chocolate to 7.5 parts of dairy or plant-based milk.

Method Working with ground chocolate offers an amazing versatility for preparation as it simply melts into your hot water, milk or plant-based. You can steam into a hot chocolate using an espresso machine’s steam wand, use a milk frother, automatic foamer, french press, shaker or simply heat gently on the stove, while constantly stirring. 

Ground chocolate We grind our chocolate for optimum solubility and a smooth, velvety hot chocolate. The mouthfeel is incomparable to what you can achieve with cacao powder (which is the result of an intensive, often chemical, process removing all amazing cacao butter).
