- ½ teaspoon sea salt

Method
Combine the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until sugar and salt are dissolved, about 5 minutes. Be careful to not let the milk come to a boil.
Whisk in the chocolate chips until melted and fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.
Divide the hot chocolate between mugs. Top with whipped cream or marshmallows, if using, and remaining chocolate chips (chopping first).
