You will like this exotic drink with a basic chocolate milk, bananas and white rum.

Ingredients (2-3 servings)
First you make the Chocolate milk which consists of syrup, milk and chocolate:
Syrup: 2 tbsp water, 2tbsp sugar
Combine water and sugar in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. When sugar is dissolved, remove pan from heat; set aside.
1 2/3 cups milk, 2 tbsp simple syrup, 2.5 oz Lindt bittersweet chopped chocolate
Heat the milk and syrup to 122-144F (50-60 C) and add chopped chocolate.
Whisk until chocolate is melted; refrigerate until chilled. You can use this chocolate milk on its own but it tastes great with other ingredients.

Blend the chocolate milk and 1 medium ripe banana (peeled and sliced) until smooth; add 2 tbsp white rum if desired. Sprinkle with grated chocolate.

Serve in chilled glasses.
