Notes
It is important that you use hot water to stir the chocolate and Nutella so that they melt and blend into the beverage smoothly.
We use Cadbury's Instant Hot Chocolate for this recipe. Different brands may differ in flavour so do adjust the amount accordingly to your taste and add sugar/sweetener if need to as well.
I like to use whole milk but feel free to swap it with any milk of your choice including alternative milk.
To make this into Nutella Hot Chocolate, warm the milk and mix it directly with the Nutella and instant chocolate until fully blended. You can skip the hot water step as the warm milk is effective enough in melting the mixture. Obviously, you won't need the ice as well!
