French Hot Chocolate

This is my favorite holiday drink. It's super easy and absolutely delicious!

1/2 c. water
1 1/3 c. sugar
3 squares unsweetened chocolate (Baker's)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. almond extract
1/2 pint whipping cream
milk

1. In a saucepan bring water, sugar and dash salt to a boil and continue to boil for 5 minutes.
2. Melt chocolate in above mixture.
3. Chill.
4. Add both vanilla and almond extract and stir.
5. Whip cream and add to chocolate.
6. Place a spoonful of chocolate in a cup and pour hot milk over and stir till chocolate bits are dissolved.

This is the way hot chocolate is supposed to taste. It's definetely not low-fat! Hope you enjoy this drink as much as we do!
