Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice (I used 2%)
- 1 ½ oz dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch ground cloves
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Whisk and cook until the chocolate is melted, the hot chocolate is steaming, and everything is well-combined.
- Remove from heat. Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream, a small gingerbread cookie, and a dust of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired. Drink up!
Notes
Storage Directions — Once cooled to room temperature, the hot cocoa can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The hot chocolate can settle upon storage, so give it a good whisk before reheating it over low heat on the stovetop or gentle heat in the microwave.
