real hot chocolate/ or white

This recipe is simple enough to make anytime you're looking for that chocolate fix. In Paris most places use low fat milk. I like to use whole milk. You can also replace some of the milk with strong coffee or add a hit of liqueur at the end, like cognac or Chartreuse. To Die For!
