  • Ground ginger
  • Ground nutmeg

Warm milk

Homemade Hot Chocolate

In a saucepan, add all the ingredients. It is important to note that milk can burn very easily. So, be attentive to the milk as it heats up. To prevent burning, whisk the milk regularly as it gets hot.

How to make hot chocolate

Use a whisk to combine all the ingredients and place the pot over medium heat. This is where the scents of the holiday season begin to fill up the kitchen! The gingerbread spice mix elevates a traditional hot cocoa mix and smells SO good!

Gingerbread Hot Cocoa Recipe

Allow the hot chocolate to come to a simmer while whisking the mixture. Again, it’s important to regularly stir the chocolate mixture to prevent burning. Now is the time to start up some of your favorite Christmas movies and get the couch ready with cozy blankets. Hot drinks are always better with Christmas lights glowing!

Homemade Hot Cocoa Recipe
