Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The quality of your chocolate will greatly affect the taste of your hot chocolate. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and avoid using chocolate chips, which contain less cocoa solids and more sugar.
- Don't overheat the milk. Overheating the milk can cause it to scald, which will ruin the flavor of your hot chocolate. Heat the milk just until it is steaming, but not boiling.
- Stir in the chocolate slowly. This will help prevent the chocolate from clumping. Add the chocolate to the hot milk a little at a time, stirring constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and combined.
- Add your favorite syrups and stir-ins. This is where you can get creative and make your hot chocolate unique. Some popular syrup flavors include vanilla, chocolate, caramel, and peppermint. Some popular stir-ins include marshmallows, whipped cream, and crushed candy canes.
