How to Make Hot Chocolate With Ginger

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced ginger, sugar, and water. Cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture turns a light golden color.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the ginger syrup cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in the milk, cocoa powder, and corn syrup (if using).
  4. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture reaches 180°F (82°C) or tiny bubbles begin to form around the edges of the pan. Do not boil.
  5. Carefully strain the hot chocolate through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs, discarding the solids.
  6. Garnish each mug with mini marshmallows and a light dusting of cocoa powder.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
