Heat the Milk: Pour the whole milk into a medium-sized saucepan. Turn the heat to medium and gradually warm the milk, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
-
Add Cornstarch and Mint Syrup: Once the milk is warm (but not boiling), add the cornstarch. Stir continuously to avoid clumps forming. Then, pour in the mint syrup for a refreshing flavor boost.
-
Infuse with Fresh Mint: Add the fresh mint leaves to the saucepan, allowing them to infuse their flavor into the milk mixture. Stir well and continue heating for about 4-5 minutes, or until it begins to simmer.
-
Remove from Heat and Strain: Once the mixture starts to bubble, remove the saucepan from the heat. Take out the mint leaves and discard them. Stir the milk mixture with a whisk to ensure everything is well combined.
-
Add White Chocolate: While the mixture is still warm, add the chopped white chocolate to the milk. Stir thoroughly until the chocolate has completely melted and integrated into the milk, creating a creamy and velvety texture.
-
Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, use an electric whisk to whip the fresh cream until soft peaks form. This will add a luscious, creamy topping to your drink.
-
Serve the Hot Chocolate: Pour the white mint hot chocolate into two cups, ensuring that each cup is filled generously. Top each cup with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
-
Garnish and Enjoy: For an extra minty touch, garnish with a few fresh mint leaves on top of the whipped cream. Your delicious, creamy, and refreshing White Mint Hot Chocolate is now ready to be served!
This delightful beverage combines the sweetness of white chocolate with the refreshing taste of mint, making it perfect for cozying up on a chilly day. Enjoy!
