Hot White Chocolate: A soothing drink that's a bit sweeter than the basic hot chocolate. To make, replace the bittersweet chocolate with 2 oz. white chocolate, such as Callebaut. Serve with chocolate whipped cream.
Irish Coffee Hot Chocolate: This one is great served with whipped cream. Use only 2 cups milk and add 1/2 cup strong coffee. Put 2 Tbs. whiskey (more or less to taste) in the blender with the chocolate.
Hot Chocolate with Ginger & Cinnamon: Ginger gives this drink a nice bite. To make, add 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. ground ginger to the milk before heating.
Mint Hot Chocolate: Fresh mint gives a clean, fresh taste. Add 6 to 8 mint leaves to the heated milk and let steep for 10 min. Reheat the milk and strain out the mint. Blend with 3-1/2 oz. chopped chocolate. Garnish each cup with a mint leaf.
Hot Chocolate with Cardamom: Add 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom to the milk before heating.
