What tips do you have when making the Hot Drinking Chocolate?

To elevate your Drinking Chocolate, use high-quality chocolate and vanilla. Warm the milk and cream gently to dissolve the chocolate fully, avoiding boiling. Infuse the cinnamon directly in the warm milk for a deeper flavor. Don’t over-whip the cream, a soft peak is ideal. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or chocolate shavings for visual appeal.
