Notes

Tips:
  • Any type of milk works from whole milk to reduced fat.  Whole milk will make the richest, creamiest drink.
  • Stir it frequently while heating so that it is evenly heated.
  • Don't let it boil or it can scald.
Variations and Substitutions:
  • Add a little heavy cream to make it richer and creamier.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla for a little extra flavor.
  • Use ¼ cup of chocolate chips and leave out the cocoa powder.
  • Use dairy free milk.
