Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate will be.
Don't use cocoa powder. Cocoa powder is not as rich or flavorful as chocolate.
Use whole milk. Whole milk will make the hot chocolate richer and creamier.
Don't boil the milk. Boiling the milk will make the hot chocolate gritty.
Add flavorings after the milk has been heated. Adding flavorings to the milk before it has been heated can cause them to curdle.
Serve the hot chocolate with whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings.
