Place one quart of skim milk in a medium-size pot and bring to a boil over a medium flame.
Place 1 1/2 cups of 70% dark chocolate chips (if using chocolate from a block, chop it into small pieces first) into a medium-size mixing bowl, along with a pinch of salt.
Pour hot milk over chocolate. Whisk until the skim milk and chocolate makes a smooth mixture and the chocolate is fully melted.
Return this mixture to the pot and return to a simmer over low flame. Make sure to stir the hot chocolate to avoid scorching. As the hot chocolate is slowly brought to a boil, it will slowly thicken -- this is completely natural and desireable.
