- Add the chocolate to the milk mixture slowly. To prevent the chocolate from clumping or burning, add it to the milk mixture in small pieces and stir continuously until it has melted.
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste. The amount of sugar you use will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
