- Place the saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat and continuously whisk until the liquid is visibly thicker. This will take approximately 4½-5 minutes of simmering and gentle boiling (you might need to lower your heat to allow it to boil without spilling).

Notes
Maple syrup can be swapped with your preferred sweetener. You can adjust the amount of sweetness before serving, though my family finds it sweet enough.
As this hot chocolate cools, it will thicken a little more.
Serve warm with choc chip oatmeal cookies.
