2 oz Best quality white chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup Brewed coffee
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups Milk or half-and-half
Grated nutmeg, for garnish


Melt the chocolate in a small heavy saucepan over very low heat, stirring frequently. Stir in the coffee and vanilla until smooth. Add the milk, increase the heat to medium, and heat until the mixture is quite hot but not boiling. Pour the mixture into a blender container and whiz until frothy. Pour the chocolate into 2 cups and sprinkle each with a light dusting of nutmeg. If a more potent and less pure cup is desired, a splash of Grand Marnier or Tia Maria would perform the trick perfectly.
