- for topping Whipped cream Optional but recommended.

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.

- 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.
