Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Use good quality for best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream Add more for a richer taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For aroma and flavor.
  • for topping Whipped cream Optional but recommended.
  • optional crushed peppermint or cocoa powder for garnish Add for a crunchy contrast.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
  • Heat until small steam wisps rise and the edges show tiny bubbles, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Stir gently so the milk warms evenly and does not scorch.

Cooking

  • Stir in the white chocolate chips and vanilla extract until fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Keep the heat low and whisk slowly until glossy and silky, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and pour into mugs slowly, keeping the glossy surface and avoiding splashes.

Serving

  • Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed peppermint or cocoa powder if desired.
  • Serve immediately for the best warm texture and fresh fragrant steam.

Notes

Do not let the milk reach a rolling boil as it can change the flavors. If thicker consistency is desired, add more cream or white chocolate.
