Preparation

1. Cut the chocolate into small chunks. In a saucepan combine the milk and cocoa, and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, whisking until smooth. Stir in the sugar. Reduce the heat to very low, and stir in the chocolate a little at a time, until melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, and stir in the vanilla. Serve in mugs, with a little chocolate shaved over the top.
