What could be better on a dreary, cold day than a nice, warm fire? How about homemade hot chocolate?! This delicious drink is tons better when you put in the effort and make it yourself rather than using the powder mix. Not only is it better, but it is tastier and creamier with a rich, chocolate taste that will ignite your taste buds!

Serves 2

Ingredients

3 cups whole milk or heavy cream

2 tablespoons of sugar
