How to Make Honey Almond Spanish Hot Chocolate

  2. Add 2 tablespoons honey and whisk until combined.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy) while heating over medium heat. Continue whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

  7. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy immediately! Garnish with toasted slivered almonds (optional).
