12. 12Pour the hot milk into a clean heat-resistant bottle or jar.
13. 13Close the lid tightly and wrap the bottle with a kitchen towel. Now shake the bottle vigorously for about 1 minute or until the milk becomes frothy.
14. 14Transfer it to to a frothing pitcher, swirl the milk around the pitcher, this trick remove the larger bubbles and you get equally foamed milk.
15. 15Now pour frothy milk slowly into coffee-chocolate mixture. If you don't have a frothing pitcher, then you can directly pour it from the bottle.
16. 16Dust with some cocoa powder or drizzle with chocolate syrup. Serve immediately!
