4 cups milk 1 stick cinnamon 2 whole cloves 4 oz dark chocolate chopped into small pieces 2 drops almond extract (up to 3 drops)
Heat the milk gently with the spices in a saucepan until almost boiling then stir in the chocolate over medium heat until melted. Strain into a blender, add the almond extract and whizz on high speed for about 30 seconds, until frothy. Or, whisk the mixture with a hand- held electric mixer or wire whisk. Pour into warmed heatproof glasses and serve immediately.
