Notes

Use high-quality chocolate for the best results. Adjust sweetness to your preference by tweaking the amount of sugar. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat gently, adding a splash of milk if necessary. For added elegance, top with high-quality chocolate shavings before serving. Enjoy your homemade hot chocolate—it truly is a warm hug in a mug!
