Method
Preparation
Heat the Milk and Cream
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of whole milk and 1 cup of heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Mix Cocoa and Sugar
In a separate bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar together. This will help to prevent clumping.
Heat Thoroughly
Keep heating the mixture on low for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not let it boil.
Serving
Serve Hot
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs or serving cups.
Add Toppings
Top with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, chocolate shavings, and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder as desired.
