Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups milk
1 cinnamon stick, 6 sprigs fresh mint, or 2 split vanilla bean (optional)
10 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate, cut into small pieces
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Chocolate shavings (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat milk to scalding in a medium saucepan. Add cinnamon, mint, or vanilla, if desired. Let steep 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; strain, and return to saucepan. Reheat milk; using a whisk, stir in chocolate until melted and milk is frothy. Serve immediately with a dollop of whipped cream garnished with chocolate shavings, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overheat the milk: Overheated milk can scorch and ruin the flavor of the hot chocolate. Heat the milk until it is just simmering, then remove it from the heat.
  • Whisk constantly: Whisking the hot chocolate constantly will help to prevent it from clumping and will also make it smooth and creamy.
  • Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your hot chocolate, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or peppermint. Get creative and experiment with different flavors to find your favorite.
  • Top with whipped cream and marshmallows: Whipped cream and marshmallows are classic toppings for hot chocolate. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess that makes the hot chocolate even more delicious.
