Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk (whole milk works best for a creamy texture)
  • 1 Tbsp white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2-3 drops red food coloring (adjust for desired color intensity)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Red and pink sprinkles (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Heat the MilkIn a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to steam. Be careful not to let it boil, as this can change the texture.
  • Step 2: Melt the White ChocolateAdd the white chocolate chips to the warm milk, stirring continuously until they are completely melted and fully incorporated.
  • Step 3: Sweeten the MixStir in the sugar until it dissolves completely, enhancing the subtle sweetness of the white chocolate.
  • Step 4: Add the Signature ColorAdd 2-3 drops of red food coloring and stir well to achieve that classic red velvet color. Feel free to add an extra drop or two if you want a more vibrant hue.
  • Step 5: Final TouchesContinue heating for another 2-3 minutes while stirring occasionally to ensure everything is well combined.
  • Step 6: Serve and GarnishRemove from heat and pour into a mug. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with red and pink sprinkles for a beautiful finishing touch.
