Chai Hot Chocolate

I had this the other day at Williams with my good friend Steph (who says I need to update my blog)... and I was intrigued... so off I went to google recipes for white hot chocolate...

I will try them and let you know which is best....

This white hot chocolate, laced with chai spices, makes an elegant winter warmer. Be sure to use only top-quality white chocolate -- make sure it contains cocoa butter, and not vegetable shortening.
Serves 2.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons good quality white chocolate chips or grated white chocolate
1 cup milk or soy milk
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 whole clove
1 whole black peppercorn
Preparation:
Take two mugs, and place one tablespoon of white chocolate into each. Set aside.
Place milk and water into a small saucepan. Whisk in the spices. Place over medium heat, and allow to slowly come to a boil, whisking occasionally.
As soon as the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low, and remove the clove and peppercorn.
Whisk vigorously to distribute the spices and create a foam on top. Remove from the heat.
Pour half of the milk mixture into each of the mugs. Stir to melt the white chocolate. Spoon some of the foam onto the top of each and serve. Enjoy!
