Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Whole Milk
- 6 ounces good quality White Chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Pour the whole milk into a medium saucepan. Heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to steam around the edges. Do not let it boil.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the chopped white chocolate to the warm milk. Let it sit for one minute to soften the chocolate.
- Whisk the mixture constantly until the white chocolate is completely melted and the drink is smooth. Keep the heat low to prevent scorching the milk or chocolate.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and the pinch of salt.
- Pour the creamy white hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream or marshmallows if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate; the flavor of the final drink depends on it.
- If the drink seems too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your preferred consistency.
- For a Starbucks copycat version, add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla.
- To make this an indulgent winter treat, top with toasted marshmallows or a dusting of cinnamon.
