1-First Steps: Combining and Heating Begin by mixing 6 cups of chocolate milk with 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cookie butter, 3 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg in a large saucepan. Heat this over medium heat, stirring now and then to dissolve the sugar and cookie butter fully.

Warm the mixture for around 5 minutes, but keep an eye on it so it doesn’t boil or scald that could mess up the flavors. Once it’s hot and steamy, you’re almost there!

2-Finishing and Serving: Take the saucepan off the heat and pour the mixture into mugs, filling each one about three-quarters full to leave room for toppings. Add whipped cream, miniature marshmallows, and a sprinkle of extra cocoa powder on top for that extra touch.

Don’t forget a cinnamon stick for stirring and a mini gingerbread man as a fun garnish. Serve it right away to enjoy the best taste and warmth. For more ideas on seasonal drinks, check out our best winter recipes for even more cozy inspirations.
