Peppermint Hot Chocolate

I used to always buy hot chocolate mix from the grocery store every winter because I didn’t know just how simple it was to make myself.

One day a friend of mine showed me a website with a bunch of different hot chocolate recipes. I tried many of them, and picked a few things from a handful of recipes that I liked to create this one recipe for myself.
