2 cups whole milk

3/4 cup dark chocolate (70% cacao)

1/3 cup of chocolate milk

1/2 tsp. lavender buds

Note: it is important to use a good quality dark chocolate

Whipping Cream

1/2 cup cold heavy whipping cream

1/2 tbs sugar

Directions

Heat milk in a sauce pan in medium heat. You want it hot but don’t boil it

Add lavender buds in the milk (use a tea ball if you have one).  Let the lavender steep for 3 minutes  or more time if you desire a stronger lavender taste

Strain lavender and add the chocolate milk. Heat a little longer if necessary

Add the chocolate. Milk has to be hot enough to melt the chocolate

Whisk the milk and chocolate for a frothy consistency

Pour into your desired mug and add the cream
