How to Make Red Hot Chocolate
- In a small saucepan, warm milk until it begins to steam.

Tips for Making Hot Chocolate from Scratch
- The milk should be extremely warm, but not boiling. Boiled milk will start to coagulate and become curdled milk.
- Stir constantly once chocolate is added so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Add whipped topping and extra chopped chocolate for toppings.
