1
Combine Base Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, water, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until all ingredients are well mixed and there are no lumps.
2
Heat the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk occasionally. Heat the mixture until it is hot but not boiling, about 5-7 minutes.

3
Add Flavor Enhancements
Once the hot chocolate is heated, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips until the chocolate chips are melted and everything is well combined.
4
Serve
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top with whipped cream to taste. Optionally, sprinkle some cocoa powder on top for garnish.
