Ingredients: 12 ounces whole milk; 1 small stalk lemongrass, chopped; 1/2 teaspoon dried lavender; 1 makrut lime leaf, torn in half; 1/2 teaspoon zest from one small lime; 3 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped

Vosges Haut chocolat's bianca white hot chocolate inspired this ridiculously addictive concoction scented with kaffir lime leaf, lemongrass, and lavender.

Notes: For a richer, more full-bodied texture, substitute half of the milk for half and half. Fresh kaffir lime leaf can be found in Asian supermarkets. I used Cadbury white chocolate when making this recipe.
