Ingredients

3 bars of Dominican chocolate I used Embajador.
1 cup Whole Milk
1 cup Evaporated Milk
2 Cinnamon Sticks
¼ teaspoon of Nutmeg
2 Whole Cloves
Whipped cream optional

Instructions

Place your chocolate, Cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg in a medium saucepan over medium heat
Add in your evaporated milk and whole milk, constantly stirring using a wooden spoon or whisk until milk simmers and chocolate melts. The hot chocolate should be frothy from the constant whisking
Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the hot chocolate into your mug of choice
Top with whipped cream (if desired) and garnish with a cinnamon stick.

Notes

Want a dairy free hot chocolate? Swap out the dairy ingredients for non dairy options. You can use coconut milk or almond milk, coconut whipped cream, coconut evaporated milk and vegan dark chocolate instead.

Don't like whipped cream? Opt for some toasted marshmallows instead or simply omit the whipped cream altogether.

Don't have access to chocolate from Dominican Republic? You can opt for very dark chocolate instead, organic cacao. In a pinch, Mexican hot chocolate or Colombian hot chocolate bars will also work.
