Today Miami woke up at 42ĖF. The perfect temperature for a hot chocolate, I thought.Ā 
So I made my hot chocolate Caracas-style, thickened with cornstarch and with a pinch of salt added, exactly the way my mom or my grandma would have done.Ā 
So, here is the beverage as I used to have it in my childhood: very thick, just like the one you can have in Madrid, Spain when you go out and end the party after midnight, with a good cup of thick chocolate with churros.
