For all of these recipes the directions are pretty much the same. Just combine all ingredients in a saucepan and stir together until fully combined. Personally, I like to put about 2 tbsp of olive oil in a sauce pan and add in the chocolate. Using a whisk, I coat all the chips in the oil and mix until its melted. I will then add any spices or flavorings. Then slowly add the milk along with other liquids. You don't have to boil the mixture, just make sure its warm. That's how I put the recipe together, and I think it works best. To thoroughly explain the process, I have arranged all of the ingredients list in the order I would add them.
