Instructions
- Prepare chocolate mixture: In a small bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk and unsweetened cocoa powder together until thoroughly combined and smooth.

- Combine chocolate and milk: Add the chocolate mixture to the warmed milk and whisk continuously until completely blended.
- Simmer gently: Continue cooking the hot chocolate over medium-low heat, stirring continuously. Heat until the mixture is steamy and hot but do not let it boil to avoid burning the bottom.
