HOT CHOCOLATE DISPENSER PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS: To speed up preparation time preheat 2 litres of milk to around 60°C. Add to your Hot Chocolate Dispenser, (Set at 65°C your product should be ready in 10 or so minutes). When at temperature it is advisable to rotate 2 - 3 cups of product through the tap and return to the mixing bowl. This should also be done occasionally through slow periods. Makes 3 litres, (30 serves) Over time / due to evaporation you will need to add milk. VISCOSITY TEST: Use a 250ml cup to test and maintain correct viscosity, hot pour time should be 7 seconds from the time product hits the bottom of the cup till it is full, tap must be fully open and clear. Simply add more milk if the product is too thick. It is advisable to ensure unused product is at correct viscosity before refrigerating in the dispenser bowl overnight, (at refrigeration temperatures heavy product could cause tap blockages). NEVER RUN OUT: We recommend cold mixing a fresh batch of product and storing refrigerated ready to add to the dispenser during serving hours, (this way you will never run out of product, and further increase your sales). SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve 100ml as a sipping chocolate with a small dollop of cream and biscotti. As an alternative try, adding to cold milk and ice, over ice-cream, add to coffee mocha, also mixes very well with nut based liqueurs. NOTE: YOUR HOT CHOCOLATE DISPENSER IS NOT DESIGNED AS A BLENDER; IT IS INTENDED AS A STIRRER / STORAGE APPLIANCE. |
