The drink the business was built on. One pre-portioned 50g pouch into hot milk, whisked until the chocolate chips melt out into it, giving a thick, spoon-coating hot chocolate that lands the same way on every shift. No dosing, no dial-in, no wastage.

Undissolved chips are the only way this drink goes wrong, and they show up as gritty specks at the bottom of the cup. Keep whisking past the point where it looks done. If your pass is busy, hold the finished base in a thermal jug rather than reheating a made cup, which splits the fat out.
METHOD
- 01
Heat 150-200ml of whole milk in a sauce pan and bring it to a slight boil. Less milk gives a denser cup, more gives a lighter one.
- 02
Take the pan off direct heat and empty one 50g Classic Dark pouch into the milk.
- 03
Whisk continuously until every chocolate chip has melted and the surface is glossy with no dark flecks left. This is the whole technique.
- 04
Return to low heat for 10 to 15 seconds if it needs to thicken further. The maize starch in the mix sets as it warms.
- 05
Pour into a pre-warmed 350ml cup and serve. Total time from cold pan is under 90 seconds.
