Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups whole milk Use whole milk for creaminess.
  • 10 ounces bittersweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped Quality chocolate enhances flavor.
  • 4 to 8 tbsp light brown sugar Adjust based on your sweetness preference.

  2. Turn the heat back on to medium and bring the hot chocolate to a slow simmer. Simmer for 3-4 minutes and stir occasionally until you reach your desired thickness.

  4. Pour the hot chocolate into individual cups—4 US size coffee cups or 6 to 8 French size cappuccino or tea cups.
