Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 100 grams dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Heat Milk: Pour the milk into a saucepan and gently heat over medium-low heat until it is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Melt Chocolate: Add the chopped dark chocolate to the warm milk and continue to stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and fully incorporated.
- Add Spices and Sugar: Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly throughout the hot chocolate.
- Stir Until Smooth: Continue stirring the mixture until the hot chocolate is smooth and slightly thickened, then remove from heat and serve immediately for the best taste.
Notes
- Use full-fat milk for a creamier texture or a dairy-free alternative for a vegan version.
- Adjust sugar amount based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra indulgence.
- Be careful not to boil the milk to avoid burning the milk or chocolate.
