How to Make Steamy Hot Chocolate

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved and smooth.
  3. Add the remaining 1 cup of milk.
  4. Add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth and heated through.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  8. Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder, if desired.
