Prepare the listed ingredients. You can use any type of chocolate: dark, milk, or white. The main thing is that it melts well, meaning it should be of good quality. The color of the added cocoa will determine the color of the drink.

Step 2
Pour milk of any fat content into a small saucepan or pot. Rinse the mint leaves and place them in the pot. Put the pot on the stove and heat almost to boiling, then remove the leaves—they will have imparted their aroma and flavor to the milk. You will end up with mint-flavored milk.
