Gift from a friend. The disks are slightly discoloured, and the Montezuma website doesn't have the drinking chocolate for sale at the moment, and though there are bags still available on Amazon there is a note saying: "These details were last updated on 9 October 2017", so the chocolate is likely not fresh. I warmed up some milk in a jug then put in the disc and stirred, as per the instructions. The instructions then say to wait and be patient - but meanwhile the milk is getting cold, so I popped my jug into the microwave to to keep it warm, then stirred a bit more and put it back, and then stirred again before serving.
When my friend made it for me, the hot chocolate was fairly bitty with spots of chocolate floating around in the milk, and the milk was not creamy. So I am glad I returned it to the microwave for more warming and stirring. I think therein lies the secret to success with these discs.
The final result is a pleasant creamy hot chocolate with a hint of vanilla. Quite satisfying, but not indulgent and not characterful. Pleasant is what it is. Most people would find this acceptable, but few would find it wonderful.
