Directions

1. In a saucepan, combine the milk and the cream and stir over high heat until the mixture gets hot and kind of frothy.
2. Remove from heat. Whisk in the sugar and the vanilla.
3. In a cup, combine the espresso and the chocolate chips and stir until you get a smooth mixture.
4. Pour half of the mixture into the second cup.
5. Top with the milk and stir slightly.

This drink is ideal to take a breath after all the festive activities of the past few weeks. Together with some left over cookies or desserts will make it even more perfect.

If you want, you can add flavors to the latte, like caramel, almond or peppermint. Just use one or two teaspoons of your favorite extract to jazz it up. Another option is to spice your drink up, using wintery, cozy spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and even gingerbread spice mix. One more ingredient you can use for an afternoon or evening hot drink is a little Irish cream liquor or something similar. For decoration, use cinnamon sticks, a little cinnamon or cocoa powder or flakes of white chocolate. And of course you can always top the latte with more whipped cream!
