How to Make The Avenue's Classic Hot Chocolate

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk and cocoa powder until smooth. There should be no lumps.
  2. Add the sugar and stir to combine. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is steaming.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Add the chocolate chunks, stirring gently and continuously until melted and completely incorporated into the hot chocolate.
  4. Remove from heat. Carefully pour the hot chocolate through a fine-mesh sieve or strainer into a heatproof pitcher or bowl to remove any lumps or undissolved cocoa.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour into mugs. Top with marshmallows or whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
