John’S Classic Drinking Chocolate

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it is hot to the touch.

2. Whisk in the chocolate and sugar, and continue whisking for 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the vanilla (and the cinnamon and cayenne, if using).

3. Reduce the heat to low. Serve immediately, or remove from heat and mix with a hand blender for a lighter consistency.
