How to cook deliciously - Boozy Hot Chocolate

1. Stage

Warm the milk: Warm the milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it begins to barely simmer but not boil (watch for small bubbles around the edges).

2. Stage

Add the chocolate: Add in the chopped chocolate and whisk until combined and smooth, about 5 minutes. There should be no remaining specks of chocolate, the color should turn from a pale tan to a milk chocolatey brown, and the bottom of your pan should be coated with the mixture.

3. Stage

Remove from the heat and add the remaining ingredients: Remove from the heat and stir in the liquor, vanilla extract, and salt.

4. Stage

Cool slightly and serve: Let sit to cool to a safe drinking temperature for about 5 minutes (still hot but not burning). Pour into heatproof mugs. If a skin forms while cooling, just whisk it for a few seconds to reincorporate. Enjoy as-is or topped with desired toppings. Love the recipe? Leave us stars below!
