Notes

  • Watch the Heat: Warm over medium heat to avoid scorching the chocolate or the milk.
  • Check the Pot Corners: Chocolate likes to hide along the edges, whisk well so nothing sticks.
  • Customize Sweetness: Add a little white sugar or an extra splash of peppermint syrup if you prefer a sweeter cocoa.
  • Serve Immediately: Hot chocolate thickens as it cools, enjoy it fresh for the best texture.
  • Storage: Place cooled hot chocolate in a glass jar and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Warm up on the stove top to desired heat preference.
  • Garnishes: Top with whipped cream and chocolate shaving, syrup or crushed peppermint.
