  2. Add 6 ounces of finely chopped white chocolate (or bittersweet dark chocolate) to the warm milk mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  3. Continue stirring gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of brandy (optional).
  5. Serve immediately in pre-warmed mugs. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, candy cane, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.
