7 Ways to Enjoy Hot Chocolate Like a Pro

In this post I am sharing SEVEN different ways to make hot chocolate that will leave you wanting more.

So sit back, relax, and let me show you how it's done!

The Classic Way

The traditional way to make hot chocolate is probably the most popular, and it's easy to see why.

All you need are some simple ingredients: milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract. Combine these ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until everything is combined. Then bring the mixture to a simmer, careful not to let it boil. Once it's heated through, pour it into your mug and enjoy!

The French Way

If you're feeling fancy, you can make hot chocolate the French way.

Start by heating milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Then add in some dark chocolate chips or a chopped-up chocolate bar. Stir until the chocolate is melted, then remove the pan from the heat and add a dash of vanilla extract. Pour the mixture into your mug and enjoy!

We recommend trying this with a delicious homemade biscuit on the side.

The Mexican Way

If you want to spice things up, try making hot chocolate the Mexican way.

Start by heating milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of chilli powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper, then stir until everything is combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer, being careful not to let it boil. Once it's heated through, pour it into your mug and enjoy!

If you're a fan of Nutella, you'll love this variation.

Start by heating milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of Nutella and a pinch of cinnamon, then stir until everything is combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer, being careful not to let it boil. Once it's heated through, pour it into your mug and enjoy!

Personally ocassionally I love to add a little something extra if needed like Maca powder and Plant protein to my hot chocolate beverage for those extra nutrients that I might've missed for the day. And occasionally I'll add some Lion's Mane for some brain stigma.
