  • sweetened whipped cream optional
  • cocoa powder for garnishing
  • 1 pinch pumpkin spice optional
  • 1 piece chocolate

Instructions

  • Heat the milk and water (if using) over medium heat. As soon as it bubbles, add the chocolate chips or cocoa powder and sugar. Stir to mix well. Turn off the heat and transfer the hot chocolate to a mug.
