1. Prepare the Milk and Cinnamon:
- Pour the 4 cups of milk into a medium-sized saucepan.

- Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. Heat to Desired Temperature:
- Increase the heat slightly and warm the hot chocolate to your desired drinking temperature. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating. Do not let it boil.
6. Serve:
- Once the hot chocolate is thoroughly heated and smooth, remove it from the heat.
- Pour the hot chocolate into mugs.
7. Optional Garnish:
- You can garnish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, or a cinnamon stick for an extra touch.
8. Enjoy:

Tips:

- For a thicker and richer hot chocolate, you can substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.

- If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can add a pinch of ground cinnamon to the milk before heating.

- Top the hot chocolate with whipped cream or marshmallows for an extra special treat.

- You can use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a more intense chocolate flavor.

- If you want to make it dairy-free, substitute the milk with almond milk, soy milk, or any other plant-based milk.
