- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons caramel sauce
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt (plus extra for garnish)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings (Optional)
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Warm the Milk Mixture: In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, and sugar over medium heat until the mixture is warm and the cocoa and sugar are fully dissolved.
- Add Caramel and Flavorings: Stir in the caramel sauce, sea salt, and vanilla extract ensuring they are well combined into the warm milk mixture.
- Heat Until Steaming: Continue heating the mixture until it is steaming hot but not boiling to avoid scorching or curdling the milk.
