INSTRUCTIONS
FOR RENE’S PEPPERMINT VODKA:

FOR THE HOT CHOCOLATE:
- In a large sauce pan, stir together the whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract and white sugar.
- Over medium heat, scald (do NOT boil – little bubbles will start to form around the rim) the milk mixture, about 5-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, break the chocolate up into pieces. When the milk is ready, add the chocolate and lower the heat to medium low.
- Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and mixed in.
- When cool enough to drink, pour into desired mugs and add peppermint vodka (16 ounce mug = 1 ounce peppermint vodka).
- Garnish with whipped cream, bits of candy cane, and enjoy!
