Instructions
- Gently warm milk in a thick-bottomed saucepan over moderate temperature, maintaining a delicate simmer without allowing the liquid to reach a rolling boil.

- White chocolate chips melt best on low heat, creating a silky and rich beverage.
- Stir continuously to prevent chocolate from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Customize your drink with marshmallows, cinnamon, or crushed peppermint for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the full warmth and decadent taste.
- Store any leftover hot chocolate in the refrigerator and reheat gently to maintain its creamy consistency.
