Maya Gold hot chocolate

When I was last in Montreal, [livejournal.com profile] papersky gave me a container of [Green and Black's] Maya Gold drinking chocolate.

It's damp and chilly this afternoon, hot chocolate weather, so I got this out and made enough for myself and [livejournal.com profile] alanro. It's excellent. It would probably have been excellent even without fresh whipped cream (a bit of vanilla, no added sugar).

The Maya Gold won't entirely replace my standard mix-it-myself of Droste or Ghirardelli cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and a dash of salt, even if I find a local source [1], but it's easier to work with, and makes a good change.

[1] The health food store I'd been going to for Green and Black's chocolate closed a while back.
