Serves 1 (multiply by how many servings you wish)
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1 tbsp white chocolate chips
1 tsp sugar
Red food colouring (2-3 drops)

Red and pink sprinkles
Side note: Here are some natural alternatives to red food coloring:
Hibiscus flowers steeped in a bit of hot water until cooled.
Boiled cranberries.
Red beet juice.
Red beet powder.
Pomegranate juice
Instructions:
1. Heat the milk over medium heat in a small saucepan until it starts to steam. Do NOT let it boil.
2. Add the white chocolate chips to the saucepan and stir until they are completely melted and well incorporated into the milk.
3. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely.
4. Add 2-3 drops of red food coloring to the saucepan and stir well to evenly distribute the color. Add more drops if desired for a deeper red color.
5. Continue heating the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is hot and well combined.
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the red velvet hot chocolate into mugs.
7. Top each mug with a dollop of whipped cream. (Please let it be a mountain instead of a dollop. LOL!)
