1 tsp. oil (coconut or cocoa)
Vanillin and cinnamon to taste
A pinch of salt
Whipped cream for decoration
Preparation:

Break the chocolate into pieces and place them in a thick-bottomed saucepan.

Then add the cocoa powder and oil, mix thoroughly until the drink becomes smooth and fragrant.
Pour the hot chocolate into cups, and decorate it with whipped cream for extra pleasure.
This drink is perfect for warm evenings, whether you’re reading a book or watching your favorite TV series. Try making it – one sip, and the autumn chill will not be so noticeable!
