Perfect for cozy evenings, this recipe pairs the creamy richness of white chocolate with the warmth of cinnamon and the unique flavor of garlic, creating a distinctive beverage that's sure to impress your taste buds.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pour the 4 cups of milk into a medium-sized saucepan.
- Add the cinnamon stick to the milk.
- If using garlic for a unique flavor twist, lightly crush the garlic cloves with the side of a knife to release their flavor and add them to the milk.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Heat the milk gently, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until it just begins to steam.
- Do not let the milk boil.
- Once the milk is steaming, reduce the heat to low and let it steep for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the cinnamon (and garlic, if used) to infuse into the milk.
- While the milk is steeping, pour the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl.
- Whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or a whisk until it forms soft peaks. Set aside.
- After the milk has steeped, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Pour the milk through a fine mesh strainer to remove the cinnamon stick (and garlic cloves, if used), and into a clean pot or heatproof pitcher.
- Divide the hot milk mixture into mugs.
- Gently spoon a dollop of whipped cream onto each hot chocolate.
- For an optional garnish, you can sprinkle a little ground cinnamon or white chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream.
- Serve the spiced white hot chocolate immediately while hot. Enjoy the comforting and unique flavors of this spiced beverage!
Tips:
- Ensure the milk is heated gently to avoid scalding, which can affect the flavor and texture of the hot chocolate.
- If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can break the cinnamon stick into smaller pieces before adding it to the milk.
- For an extra smooth and rich texture, you can use an immersion blender to mix the hot chocolate before serving.
- Adjust the balance of spices to your liking by using more or less cinnamon or garlic.
- To add a touch of sweetness, you could incorporate a small amount of white chocolate chips.
With its unique combination of creamy milk, fragrant spices, and the surprising addition of garlic, Spiced White Hot Chocolate offers a memorable and luxurious drinking experience. Whether you're warming up on a chilly day or looking to experiment with new flavors, this recipe provides a delicious way to elevate your hot chocolate game.
