Where to find ingredients
Milk and cocoa powder are easily found in any local supermarket, usually in the dairy and baking aisles respectively. Sweetened condensed milk is found in the canned food section of any major grocer like Woolworths or Coles. Cornflour is a standard pantry staple, located in the baking section. Cinnamon is widely available in the spice aisle. If you are specifically looking for Brazilian-style cocoa or ingredients, check the 'International' or 'Latin American' section of your local independent grocer, though regular pantry items will work perfectly for this recipe.

Observations
Looking for the ultimate winter warmer? This recipe is a proper comfort food staple. The secret to its signature silky consistency is using cornflour, which gives it that classic, indulgent body that makes it so much better than your average cocoa.
