directions

  • Combine milk and half-and-half, heat on medium until just below simmering.
  • Remove pan from heat and add all chocolate. When melted, add sugar, vanilla extract and vanilla bean seeds. Whisk together until well combined.
  • Return pan to stove on low, reheating gently. Serve immediately in mugs, using vanilla bean to garnish.
  • Note: Use any type of chocolate you like. White chocolate is wonderful, and so is Mexican chocolate. Blending chocolate types is also fun and delicious.
  • Note: Cinnamon sticks are a nice garnish, as well.
  • Note: Add about three or four tablespoons of dark rum if you want to make this a delicious adult beverage.
