Instructions
- Cut the cocoa paste into small pieces so it melts more easily.
- Pour the milk into a saucepan, add the cinnamon stick, then heat gently without letting it boil.
- Stir in the cocoa and sugar, then mix until the paste has completely melted.
- Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg and pinch of salt, then let it simmer for 5 minutes while whisking.
- Remove the cinnamon stick, then whisk or use a hand blender to create a light froth.
- Serve piping hot in cups, with buttered bread.
