I absolutely love hot chocolate and I think there is no better way of making it than from scratch on the stove. Not only does this way taste so much better (or so I think!) but it’s much lower in sugar than the powdered versions you can buy in the store. You can also play around with the flavours by adding different spices, coffee syrups, or even liqueurs for a grown-up feel.
