Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Whole Milk
- 8 ounces good quality White Chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Pour the milk into a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges; do not let it boil.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the chopped white chocolate to the warm milk. Whisk constantly until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue to heat gently for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the drink is hot throughout and slightly thickened. Do not boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Pour the white hot chocolate into mugs. Top with whipped cream or marshmallows before serving immediately.
Notes
- For a Starbucks copycat version, add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream per serving for extra richness.
- To make an adult version, stir in 1 ounce of white rum or vanilla vodka per mug after removing from heat.
- If you want a thicker drink, use half-and-half instead of whole milk, or simmer for a few extra minutes to reduce slightly.
