Wait, you have a blowtorch but not a can opener?! Priorities, I respect that.

The secret to making hot chocolate is always adding coffee. Also if you have a frother at home pour in creamer and some vanilla extract and then froth it and put that as a topping on hot chocolate and it’s BUSSIN

I'm surprised no one used cayenne in their recipe. It rocks the chocolate.

I love making my own hot chocolate. I'll even use min chocolate, Lindt truffles.. basically whatever chocolate I have I can pretty much turn into hot chocolate.

[oericson]

Can you make some more videos reviewing foods you didn’t like? The Netherlands breakfast one was awesome

[AXLplosion]

I just stir some cacao powder, sugar, and a little cinnamon into hot milk. It's a good balance of flavor and convenience for someone who drinks this stuff multiple times a day during winter.

I love the Joshua weissman way because it reminds me of the italian Hot chocolate. I basically put some 50% chocolate with cinnamon, Salt and coffee, heat it up and add milk until thick, and that's basically it, sometimes i change something like i add vanille instead of coffee or cinnamon

I’ve always used cornstarch, I love the consistency it gives the chocolate.

[edhead]

that's so unfair that you didnt add honey to compensate for the marshmallows on adams!! ive made that one a ton, the honey flavor of the marshmallows is why he keeps it simple 😤

[ThePiggiestOne]

As an Adamite/Ragusean, I love how simple his stuff can be. 7/10 is not bad

[eh]

Using a small amount of burnt/toasted honey gives a whole new flavor profile that is amazing

[Avruthlelbh]

I always take the ginger and maple syrup from YSAC's recipe's into consideration, but would like to make homemade marshmallows from Adam Ragusea's method, and use a milk frother (one that heats/stirs) to emulate the use of a blender. Each channel has their own advantages, and combining is 100% the way to find what works best.

[temitopeoluwaseun]

My hot chocolate comprises of milk, cocoa
Powder, coffee powder, vanilla, dark chocolate chunks, cinnamon, cloves, salt, pepper, ginger. This is what works for me every time

[jasminespencer]

You should try a traditional Caribbean Chocolate tea or Coco tea

I reccomend Tobagonian chocolate tea
I think you would like it
It would have an umph you are looking for, I think
It wouldn't have Whip cream and marshmallows, so you can focus on the liquid

Think it's also good to do since it's Christmas again

Also please consider doing a Caribbean food series
Taking similar dishes from across the region and finding your favorite version
May cause a few fights but it would ve good to see the similarities and differences

[fluffycanterbury]

I actually open condensed milk cans just like this 🤣 savage mode 🤣

[anthonygemergencyvideos]

Cool to see adam here. I love the simplicity and results of all his recipes

[Insignia]

"Mr...uh...suck"
one of my favorite moments ever

[anotherHelldiver]

Ive seen BwB’s and J weissmans videos, I agree with you, The consistency seems more like a Liquidy pudding than a Actual Hot chocolate.

I knew that Binging W/ babish’s Take would be Pretty advanced, There seemed to be a Lot of thinking in it, And he was re-vamping What was meant to be The best from a Movie.

(Flanders serves Bart a cup in the movie, And Bart utters a quiet “Oh my god”.)

[Nostalgia]

Making Babish's recipe with some cornstarch like Wiseman sounds like the right thing to do

[askit]

the last one is by the way the *only* way we prepare hot chocolate in Spain, liquid hot chocolate is just called colacao here
