Are you someone who loves hot chocolate, but to the point where only the best of the best will suffice? We totally understand where you’re coming from because when you’ve tasted rich, creamy, and super chocolatey hot cocoa, nothing less really satisfies you. The good news is, we’re going to tell you right now how to make homemade hot chocolate that tastes incredible like it was made by a professional.

The Milk

Start your process by heating up some milk over the stove. For the creamiest results, choose whole milk, but honestly, any milk will do. Put in on medium heat until you notice the milk start to bubble slightly. Now it’s time to add the chocolate.

The Chocolate

You can erase the term “cocoa packet” from your dictionary. Sure, they can work from time to time, but if you want the real stuff, you’ll need real slabs of hard chocolate. Opt for dark chocolate for a deep, rich taste. Break up the pieces of chocolate and put them into your pot of steaming hot milk.

Mix It Up

Now it’s time to mix up the chocolate with the milk. This is probably the funnest part of the process because your creation is finally becoming a reality. When you’ve achieved a creamy, stable consistency, you’re done!
