As the winter season approaches, there’s nothing quite like a warm cup of hot chocolate to cozy up with. This classic winter beverage is the perfect companion to your BriteLune tumbler, ensuring your drink stays warm and inviting.

Did you know?

Hot chocolate has been enjoyed for centuries, dating back to the ancient Aztec civilization. They consumed a spicy, frothy beverage made from cacao beans, water, and chili peppers.

A Modern Twist on a Classic Drink

Today, we enjoy a sweeter and more indulgent version of hot chocolate. Here’s a simple recipe to make your own delicious holiday hot chocolate:

What you need:

  • 2 cups milk (whole milk or 2% milk for a creamier taste, or non-dairy milk for a vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Marshmallows, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings for topping

Instructions:

  1. Heat the Milk: In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling.
  2. Whisk in the Dry Ingredients: Whisk in the cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  3. Bring to a Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
