Warm the milk
In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the milk until just steaming, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
2
Melt the chocolate
Add the dark chocolate chips to the warmed milk and whisk until completely melted and smooth.
3
Add cocoa, sugar, and salt
Whisk in cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Continue whisking until fully dissolved and the mixture is glossy.

Finish with vanilla
Remove the pan from heat and whisk in vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
5
Serve
Pour the hot chocolate into two mugs. If desired, whisk briefly for foam and serve immediately.
