Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Whole Milk
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 12 ounces good quality White Chocolate, finely chopped
Instructions
- Pour the milk and heavy cream into a medium saucepan.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steam rises and small bubbles form around the edges. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the finely chopped white chocolate to the warm milk mixture.
- Let the chocolate sit undisturbed for two minutes to soften.
- Whisk the mixture gently until the white chocolate is completely melted and the drink is smooth and uniform.
- Return the saucepan to low heat for one minute to warm through, stirring constantly. Do not boil.
- Pour immediately into mugs and serve warm.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smoothest texture.
- For a slightly thinner drink, substitute half of the whole milk with water or half-and-half.
- Add a dash of vanilla extract before serving for extra depth.
