Tips and Warnings

  • Store: You can keep hot chocolate in a covered pot on the stove for a few hours and reheat as needed. To store for longer period of time, cool and place hot chocolate in a tight cap bottle. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or in a small pot on the stovetop.
  • Milk of choice: You can use any milk but remember the higher fat in milk, the creamier hot chocolate. Plant-based milk works as well, less creamy though but still flavorful.
  • Water? I do not recommend to use water. Although no calories, it makes very flat hot chocolate.
  • Make sugar free: You can replace maple syrup with the same amount of sugar free natural sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener.
