- In a small saucepan, heat ½ cup of half-and-half over medium heat.
- Bring the half-and-half to a gentle simmer.
- Once simmering, whisk in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until dissolved.
- Gradually whisk in the arrowroot mixture until the hot chocolate thickens slightly (about 30-60 seconds).
