Instructions
- Gently warm milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming, avoiding boiling point around 180°F.

- Use high-quality white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate bars to ensure a smooth, velvety consistency without graininess.
- Keep the heat low and stir constantly to prevent scorching and maintain a silky-smooth hot chocolate base.
- For dairy-free alternatives, substitute milk with coconut milk or almond milk and use vegan white chocolate chips to create a creamy, inclusive version.
