Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz white chocolate bar, chopped
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and chopped white chocolate. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the chocolate melts and the mixture is steaming, about 5 minutes. Do not boil.
  2. Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Whisk briskly for 30 seconds until smooth and velvety.
  3. Pour into four mugs, top as you like, and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra decadent cup, replace up to 1 cup of the whole milk with heavy cream. If you have a vanilla bean, scrape the seeds into the milk at the start for more intensity. This drink sweetens naturally from the white chocolate, so taste before adding any extra sugar.
