    • White Chocolate - I have used white chocolate chips here and you can also use grated white chocolate bars of your favorite brands
    • Vanilla Essence - It gives a rich and sweet aroma to the drink

    Tips

    • For Rich Flavor and Taste - Using good quality white chocolate and full fat milk gives the richness and the best taste and flavor to the drink
    • Sweetner - I havent used any sweetener here, as the the white chocolate is already filled with enough sweetness
    • Temperature of the milk - Always warm the milk in low medium heat and make sure not to boil it. Also make sure to dissolve the chocolate in the same setting to avoid burning of it
    • Mocha - If you would like to make a Mocha version of this drink, then I would suggest adding ¼ cup of strongly brewed coffee to 1 cup of whit chocloate drink
    • Serving - You can serve this drink as it is or topped with marshmallows or whipped cream. And as per my experience the toppings makes the drink even more sweeter, so feel free to use or skip the toppings according to your preferences
