  • 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  • Heat Milk: In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it is just about to boil. Keep an eye on it closely to prevent burning.

  • Simmer: Allow the hot chocolate to simmer on low heat for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps to meld the flavors and achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Serve: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.

  • Adjust Sweetness: The level of sweetness can vary based on personal preference, so feel free to adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste.
  • Whipped Cream: Top your hot chocolate with whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. You can also add a dash of cinnamon on top for a decorative touch.
