Infused with a hint of vanilla, this luxurious drink is as comforting as it is decadent. Whether you’re looking for a special treat to enjoy by the fireplace or a delightful drink to serve at holiday gatherings, White Hot Chocolate is sure to warm you up from the inside out.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole milk
