Why You'll Love This Hot Chocolate Italian Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On these freezing days, the only thing that I really enjoy drinking and gives me relief - mainly because my hands are aaaalways so cold - is a hot beverage. In the evening, I drink fruit\/chamomile infusion, but during the day a thick hot chocolate is what I need (not every single day, but when I look for a comforting drink).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I promise: if you'll try this, you'll never get back to the store-bought ones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You'll love it because it's easy and quick to prepare<\/strong> and never fails, it has a rich flavor<\/strong>, and you'll love it also because we're going to use cornstarch<\/strong> (or rice flour) which makes it gluten free and perfect for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creamy, thick, extra chocolatey and balanced in sweetness.<\/strong> Please, please, pleeeease try it! You'll thank me forever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
