| 1. | Place chocolate in a medium bowl. |
| 2. | Put milk into a small saucepan and bring to the boil. |
| 3. | Pour one quarter of the boiling milk onto the chocolate, then whisk the chocolate and milk until the chocolate has melted and combined well with the milk. Whisk the rum in. |
| 4. | Return the remaining three quarters of the milk to the heat and bring back to the boil. |
| 5. | Pour the remaining boiling milk over the chocolate rum milk whisking continously. You are aiming to get a frothy texture to the hot chocolate. Alternatively you can use one of those small battery powered whisks to do the same task. |

This drink will really make your toes curl. You can reduce the amount
of rum used if it's a bit too overpowering for your
tastes.
