Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Pour 1 cup of 2% milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until steaming, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add 2 tbsp of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the hot milk and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from heat and add 3 drops of peppermint extract, stirring well to combine.

Stir in 1 unit of sugar if a sweeter taste is preferred and mix until fully dissolved.

Pour the peppermint hot chocolate into serving cups and serve immediately while hot.
