Method

Hot Chocolate Directions

Heat the Milk

In a medium saucepan, pour in the 2 cups of milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the milk to warm up gently. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix them together until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients with Milk

Once the milk starts to steam (but not boil), add the dry mixture to the saucepan. Whisk continuously to ensure that the cocoa powder and sugar dissolve completely into the milk, creating a smooth texture.

Add Vanilla Extract

After the mixture is thoroughly combined and heated to your desired temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor.

Serve and Garnish

Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top each serving with whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
