For “Level 2,” he takes a bar of dark chocolate and chops it well to shred it into smaller pieces. He adds them to a vessel and also adds sugar, salt and cream to it. He gently whisks to melt the chocolate over the heat and gets a creamy sauce-like consistency. Next, he adds the milk slowly to the chocolate mix, whisking continuously. The result is a beverage that is thicker and has a darker brown shade than the first one. He tops it with a dollop of cream.
For “Level 3”, he adds chocolate pieces, brown sugar, a cinnamon stick, green cardamoms and oat milk in a saucepan. He heats these ingredients on low flame for around 10 minutes to steep the flavours. Later, he whisks them together and adjusts the consistency by adding more milk as needed.
