Ingredients
- 2 cups milk (whole or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon gingerbread spice mix (a blend of ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Heat Milk: Pour the milk into a small saucepan and warm it over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Mix Cocoa and Spices: In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, gingerbread spices, and sugar (if using) to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
- Combine and Whisk: Gradually whisk the cocoa and spice mixture into the hot milk until fully dissolved and the drink is smooth and well blended.
- Serve: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and enjoy immediately. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of extra gingerbread spice for added indulgence.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
- Use any type of milk you prefer, including dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk.
- For a more intense gingerbread flavor, increase the amount of gingerbread spices slightly.
- This recipe can be scaled up easily for multiple servings.
- Make sure not to boil the milk to avoid altering the flavor and texture.
