Mix the cocoa and sugar together.
Dissolve the cornstarch (cornflour) in the water and combine with the
cocoa-sugar mixture in a medium-sized saucepan. Stir this until it is
a smooth paste. Begin heating this mixture, continuously stirring it
with a whisk. Gradually pour in the milk. Continue stirring as you
bring it to a simmer. Simmer, stirring often, for about 10 minutes.
The cocoa is ready when it thickens and is glossy and smooth.
NOTES:
* Thick, rich Spanish hot chocolate -- I first tasted this wonderful
beverage while touring in northern Spain with a choir. It's not like
any hot chocolate I've had anywhere else, and I was delighted to find
a recipe in "The Vegetarian Epicure Book Two." It is the best hot
chocolate in the world (at least to me.)
* The consistency of the finished product should resemble chocolate
pudding that didn't quite set. If you halve this recipe, you'll get
just the right amount for two large mug-fulls. This cocoa is
especially fantastic when you dip churros into it (a churro is a
sugary, deep-fried, doughnut-like stick, and if anyone wants to send
out a recipe, I'd be most grateful).
